Sri Vadirajaru proceeds through Kumaradhara to Subrahmanya Kshetra and praises its sanctity. Vedavyasa Samputa-related material is retained here as part of the Kshetra tradition. The reference is retained here in the sequence of Sri Vadirajaru's pilgrimage so that a pilgrim can connect the present-day sacred place with the Kshetra or Tirtha praised in the Tirtha Prabandha.
Sthala Purana: The Kshetra is associated with Sri Subrahmanya, Vasuki and Kumaradhara. Tradition connects it with the protection granted to Vasuki and with Subrahmanya's divine presence after the Tarakasura episode. The place continues to be approached as a sacred destination in its regional pilgrimage tradition. The present guide therefore focuses on the principal deity, tirtha or sacred feature that a pilgrim can identify and visit today, without treating later local traditions as though every detail were stated by Sri Vadirajaru.
Places to See in the Kshetra: Kukke Subrahmanya Temple, Adi Subrahmanya, Kumaradhara Tirtha.
Temple Timings Morning Darshan: 6:00 AM – 1:30 PM Evening Darshan: 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM
