Sri Aruloli Thirumurugan Temple

A piece of history stands right atop Gun Hill as this spot was once known. A simple shrine and Murugan Vel (trident) was installed by Indian sepoys and sedan chair carriers in 1780. Since then it has been rebuilt to it's present state by it 's late benefactors.

Beautifully constructed and maintained by the temple custodians to this day. It's a wonderful feeling walking on an historical site where once upon a time our forefathers and their friends of all colors and creed fought for independance and built this wonderful nation.

It is especially nice to be able to see and experience a piece of history. I do hope more is done to preserve such sites for our future generations so that they may know who we once were. It is always nice to know that somewhere a building in restored or somewhere a forest is gazetted as a forest reserve. Of course there will always be a selfish developer or datuk that gets away with cutting huge tracts of forest reserve or demolishing historical building or sites and claim ignorance but the little battles that we win is one more heritage restored.

Preserve the precious beauty & heritage of our country. This is our History.
