The Arupadai Veedu list consists of six significant temples dedicated to Lord Murugan, located in the state of Tamil Nadu. These temples are deeply revered and are mentioned in ancient Tamil literature, including works by Nakkeerr and in Tiruppugal by Arunagirinathar. Lord Murugan is the son of Shiva and Parvathi and is venerated by Tamil communities, known by various names such as Subrahmanya, Shanmukha, Kaartikeya, and others.
Each of the six abodes of Murugan has its unique significance and rituals. The names of these temples are Thiruparankundram, Tiruchendur, Palani, Swamimalai, Tiruttani, and Pazhamudircholai. Special rituals such as ablutions (abhishekam) and poojas are conducted at these sites, especially during the six days of fasting observed by devotees, celebrating the victory of Murugan over Soora Padmasuran.
