Similarly, I began my preparations for the red carpet on November 1st. You might wonder, what preparations did I go through? I have a habit of dressing up appropriately for various festivals, functions, occasions, and events. One competition that I loved the most was the fancy dress competition.

King Bhagiratha did not anticipate the attack and lost the battle. He relented and sought Sage Narada for advice. Narada asked him to seek Sage Durvasa, who would help him find a solution. The revered sage advised the king to worship Murugan at Vallakottai to redeem his kingdom. King Bhagiratha prayed to Murugan for several years at this place and built a temple for him. It is believed that Lord Indra, had pierced the ground with his vajra ayudha near the temple to get water to do puja to Lord Muruga here. Hence the temple tank is known as Vajra Theertham.The temple is believed to be around 1,200 years
