THIRUTHANGAL – a divine sthalam (place) near Sivakasi, has many historical credits. It is a place adored in Silapathikaram. It shows the unity of vaishnavisim and saivism as the ancient majestic temples of SRI NINRA NARAYANA PEUMAL and SRI KARUNELLINATHAR TEMPLE were built up on a same hillock. This unity shows whatever religious path we follow, the final goal to reach The Pathi, The Paramporul remains the same. In this sacred place, around 18th century, a divine baby named ARUMUGANAR was born to a divinely couple who were blessed by Lord Muruga, named Chinnaiya- Vellaiyamma at Nadutheru street. The house where he lived is now known as Kalkoodam or Kavadikoodam in Thiruthangal. He had a brother named Shanmugam and younger sister named Veeralakshmi ammal.

Aarumuganar, who is ever in contemplation of Lord Muruga, wakes up early in the morning at 4 a.m., daily and walk towards west to Singarathope garden (now Kalaimagal school campus) and have bath in the pond there and pluck flowers for worshipping Lord Murugan. He dedicated his whole life to his favorite deity, Lord Muruga, and so abstained himself from family life and lead an ascetic life.
