Belukurichi is a Town (panchayat located) in Senthamangalam Taluk, Namakkal district in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, India. The village is right below Kolli Hills. The name Belukurichi has its root from 'Velavan Kurunji', meaning the land and hills that belong to Velavan (Murugan) known as Palaniyappar.
This place has a beautiful temple known as Palaniyappar Temple atop a hillock called Koogai Malai. The height of this hillock is so small that one can go up to its top on foot within 15 minutes. This hillock is referred to as Koogachalam in the hymns of Arunagirinathar. This is the place where Lord Muruga disguised himself as a handsome hunter youth to lure and marry Valli.
This temple has historical significance, where several kings have visited.
It is also said that the Tamil saint poet Avvaiyar, whenever visited her friend, Valvil Ori, the then-chieftain of the Kolli hills, never left the region without offering her prayers to this Lord Muruga.
The idol is found with his hair knotted atop his head and looks like a hunter. This idol has got a unique feature wherein Lord Muruga holds a rooster (Cheval) in his left hand though resting on his hip. In his right hand he holds the vajra vel or the sacred lance. Typical to a hunter, he has also got a pichuva katthi (a hunter's dagger) in his waist band. This kind of a Muruga statue or idol holding a rooster is nowhere to be found in the world except this temple. However, similar Muruga idols can be seen in temples like Sikkal etc. which are not the 'moolavar' or at the Sanctum Sanctorum.
Thaipusam is a very elaborate festival here which is celebrated with big pomp and show. With more devotees turning up every year, the highlight is the temple car.
