He further said that whosoever will do it first, he’d be rewarded with an opportunity to get worshipped first. By hearing this, Lord Kartikeya on his vahana (vehicle, which is a peacock) headed off to take the rounds whereas, Lord Ganesha started taking rounds around Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Lord Shiva got impressed by this act of Lord Ganesha and blessed him with what he had promised. On arrival, Kartikeya in anger sacrificed his flesh for his mother and bones for the father. In the temple the bones of Lord Murugan are shown in the idol.
