About Our Sacred Journeys.

Pathayathirai — the ancient tradition of walking barefoot towards Lord Murugan’s sanctified temples — is not just a physical journey, but a deep spiritual offering of devotion, penance, and gratitude. Across centuries, millions of devotees have undertaken this sacred voyage, chanting Murugan’s holy names, singing hymns, and carrying kavadi (sacred offerings), fueled by faith and love.

Pilgrimage of Faith – Pathayathirai to Lord Murugan

Our mission is to celebrate and support every pilgrim’s journey, guiding them through routes, temple histories, devotional practices, and the timeless stories of Murugan’s divine grace. May your every step be blessed, every prayer answered, and may Lord Murugan’s eternal light guide your heart always.

Why Walk to Murugan?

Walking towards Lord Murugan’s shrines is seen as a sacred act of surrender, a way to cleanse the soul, seek blessings for health, success, and spiritual awakening. The hardships endured during the journey symbolize overcoming the obstacles of life, and reaching the divine feet of Murugan signifies the victory of faith over trials.

Walking with Bhakti

Every step of the Pathayathirai is taken barefoot, chanting the name of Muruga. Devotees walk with full surrender, believing that the journey purifies their body, mind, and soul.

Carrying Kavadi

Some devotees carry the Kavadi, a symbolic burden offered to Lord Murugan. It is decorated with flowers, peacock feathers, and Vel symbols. Carrying Kavadi is a powerful act of devotion and penance.

Bhajan and Chanting

Devotional songs like “Muruga Muruga” and “Om Saravanabhava” are chanted by walking groups. These create vibrations of positivity and keep the spirit high throughout the journey.
