Location :
Anubhavi Subramaniar Temple is an ancient temple situated in the outskirts of Coimbatore & it is located on the Anaikatty highway.
Legend :
While passing through this hill with the Sanjeevi mount, Sri Anjaneya felt thirsty. He prayed to Lord Muruga here for water. Lord punched a place here with His Vel from where water sprang up and flowed as a river. This shows that Muruga worship was n vogue even during Valmiki’s period. There are also 2 mentions about the velocity of the arrow of Rama as that of Muruga’s Vel.
The word Hanu stands for Sri Anjaneya. Vavi in Tamil means water resource. Hanuvavi means a water source that appeared for Hanuman-Anjaneya. In days that followed the name changed as Anuvavi. As Kumara-Muruga helped Hanuman, the hill is also praised as Hanumakumaran Malai. Malai in Tamil means hill.
