Kumara Kottam Arulmigu Sri Subramaniya Swami Temple is a revered Hindu temple in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, dedicated to Lord Murugan (Subramaniya Swami). Uniquely located between the Ekambareswarar Temple and Kamakshi Amman Temple, Kumara Kottam symbolizes the divine harmony of Shaivism, Shaktism, and Murugan worship, holding deep spiritual significance for devotees.
The temple is closely associated with Kachiyappa Sivachariyar, who composed the sacred work Kanda Puranam here. Lord Murugan is worshipped in a standing posture, embodying wisdom, courage, and divine grace. The temple’s architecture reflects traditional South Indian style with carved pillars, sacred halls, and a peaceful sanctum that enhances the devotional experience.
Kumara Kottam is an important spiritual center for Murugan devotees and is especially vibrant during festivals such as Skanda Sashti and Thai Poosam. A visit to the temple offers spiritual upliftment and a deeper connection to Kanchipuram’s rich religious heritage, making it a key stop on any temple pilgrimage.
