The Presiding Deity of this Temple is Sri Subramanya Swamy whereas the Urchavar is known as Sri Shanmugam. Thiruparankundram in the earlier times was known as Thenparankundram. The Temple is built on a rocky hillock and has a 7 tiered East facing Rajagopuram. It is one among the Arupadai Veedu of Sri Murugan. This Temple had been built by the Pandya Kings but the later Madurai Nayaks showed enormous interest in building several Pillars and Mandapams thereby improving the Temple. Sri Murugan killed Asuran Soora Padman and married Indran's Daughter Deivayanai here. Several Saints like Nakeerar, Arunagirinadhar, Pamban Swamigal, Thirugnanasammandhar, Thirunavukkarasar, Sundarar and Manickavasagar have sung in praise of this Temple. Here Sathyavageesvaran as Shivan, Pavala Kanivai Perumal as Maha Vishnu, Karpaga Vinagayar and Goddess Durga have seperate Sub-Shrines. Vaigasi Visagam, Skanda Shasti, Thai Poosam and Panguni Uthram draws lots of Devotees from far flung areas. There is a Sacred Tank and an ear marked Car Parking available here.
