Palani

In the divine mango tradition, Murugan returns from circling the world and, disappointed by the result, withdraws to Palani. As Dhandayuthapani he stands with only a staff, embodying renunciation and the wisdom expressed in “Pazham Nee” — You are the fruit.

Theme: Renunciation and self-knowledge

Shared as a living tradition of devotion, cherished and retold by devotees.
