Pazhamudhircholai is mentioned as the sixth of Lord Murugan's  Aru Padai Veedukal, the six holiest Murugan shrines described by Sangam poet Nakeerar in his poem  Tirumurugatrupadai.

The temple is located on a hill known as Vrishabhadri. The place is full of natural beauty and sylvan surroundings. 

This small and ancient temple is said to be 1000-2000 years old and finds mention in Tamil literature. Though the sthala is of ancient origin, the temple as in existence today was constructed only recently.

From days of yore, Vel (Sphere) has been worshipped as the moolavar or main deity. The Vel made up of stone is of special significance and is worshipped with great veneration by devotees.

The vigraham of Lord Muruga in a standing posture has a single face and four hands with Valli and Devayanai on either side. 

Here, Lord Subrahmanyam is worshiped along with His consorts Valli as Iccha Shakti and Devayani as Kriya Shakti and  Himself as Jnana Shakti.

 This is the only Aaru Padai Veedu temple where Lord  Subrahmanyam gives darshan to His devotees along with both His consorts Valli and Devayanai.

The perennial spring 'Silambaru' known as Nooburagangai is considered as a holy water point. Devotees take holy bath in this spring.

There are other springs and Theerthams in this hill known as Hanuman theertham , Garuda theertham, etc. The pond, known as Moolavavi is unique, as water level rises in the summer and drops in the winter.
