A half hour's drive onwards, the Sri Kumaraswami temple in Muehlheim/Ruhr was established in a cellar room of a hostel for asylum seekers in 1994. The cellar temple has three proper built shrines with Muththuk Kumaraswami (a form of Murugan) and his two wives as main deities. The priest Sri Harakurukkal performs the bathing ritual. He is administered by his two sons. (18.09.1998)
