INTRODUCTION
Valli is a goddess and the consort of Lord Muruga. Valli was born as the daughter of Lord Vishnu in her previous birth with the name Sundaravalli.
She was the adopted daughter of Nambi Rajan, the tribal leader of the Mountain kingdom. She was a sincere devotee of Lord Muruga from her childhood itself. Valli used to pray to Muruga with great devotion, and wants him to be her consort. Once, while she was protecting the crops from the birds, she met Lord Murugan in the form of a hunter, an old man, and finally revealed his true form.
After some time, Lord Muruga has transformed into a young man, and started talking with Valli. At that time, Valli’s father Nambirajan and his followers were arrived at that place, and without recognising the young man as Lord Muruga, they fought with him, and all of them were killed in the hands of Lord Muruga, but due to the request of Valli, they were brought back alive, and Lord Murugan took his true form and blessed the tribesmen, and the chief performed marriage to Valli and Murugan.
The place where these incidents were occurred is known as Vallimalai and it is located in Vellore District of Tamil Nadu. After their wedding, Murugan and Valli, moved to Thiruthani, Tamil Nadu, and blessing their devotees in a wonderful manner.
Let us worship Mata Valli and be blessed.
