According to Sthala Purana, Lord Siva and Goddess Parvati were sitting on Mount Kailasa. One day Narada came and gifted Lord Siva and Goddess a celestial fruit. Lord Ganapathy and Murugan demanded the entire fruit for each of them. Lord Siva then announced a competition that they should go round the world and reaches Lord Siva and Goddess Parvati first will get the fruit. Lord Murugan goes on his vahanam Peacock around the world, while Lord Ganapathy makes pradakshinas to his parents. Murugan comes later and knows Lord Ganapathy won the competition and got the fruit. Murugan gets disappoints and stands on a hill. Lord Siva and Goddess Parvati comes and pacifies Murugan saying to him “Muruga, you are a divine fruit yourself and why do you need a fruit”. That place is called Palani as Muruga was called as Palam Nee, which means you are a divine fruit in Tamil. Pooja list & procedure of Palani temple is explained in this article.
