up to Tiruvottiyur, where he attained salvation.
Another importance of the place is that there is an idol of Subrahmanya, recovered from
the sea. This image of Subrahmanya has four hands, holding on the right hand the original
Vel as it was recovered from the sea. On the other hand is Vajravel. On the third hand are
bow and arrow. In the fourth hand a flag and a devotee as pious offering has recently
placed Vel.
