Raja arrived at the temple along with his family around 9 am and performed the special puja for about an hour.

He also performed parihara puja and homa for his victory, temple sources said. Raja is pitted against former Union minister P Chidambaram's son, Karti Chidambaram, of the Congress, an ally of DMK, in the Sivaganga segment.

The most important festival at the Lord Singaravelar (Murugan) temple is Soora Samharam associated with Lord Muruga getting the Vel (weapon) from his divine mother Parvathi to destroy the demon.

During this time, devotees believe that the idol sweats and by praying to the lord, one can conquer his enemy.
