The third temple in Hamm is the 2001 inaugurated Sri Arumuka Velalakan temple, the house to the left. This Murugan temple is just five minutesą walk away from the Sithi Vinayakar temple. Processions of each temple go by the other temple, but do not surmount hidden rivalry based on prestige and caste. The image shows the return of Murugan, placed in the nicely built procession cart, from the ride around the temple. (28.07.2002)
