History

• Hindu Scripture states that there was a fight
  happening between lord brahma and lord vishnu for
  superiority. Lord shiva tried to stop them, then
  he took a huge fire and told them both to find
  the top and bottom of it. Both tried and failed
  to find it. And thus Lord Shiva proved that he is
  the main god of the earth and there is no use of
  fighting among other gods. He then appeared as a
  hill shape on Thiruvannamalai region.
• Another link to this day is Lord muruga adopted
  the form of six babies in Saravana Poigai. So, he
  is popularly called as Aarumugam
