Legend

About 100 years ago, a thief is believed to have entered Siva Subramaniaswamy West Saidapet and placed his hands on the idol of Lord Muruga to take off with the jewels. As soon as he laid the hands on the idol, he lost his eyes and cried in panic. People rushed to the temple, came to know what happened, but let the thief go free as he had been punished by the Lord himself. The news spread and the fame of temple began to spread and is a crowded worship place these days.
