Thiruthani is one of the holy lands for the devotees of Lord Muruga as the village boasts of one of the six temples of the Hindu God. The village is located in Tamil Nadu, in the district of Tiruvallur.

For a lover of natural beauty, here awaits a small, yet beautiful river—Nandi river. Kumara Teertha also known as Saravana Poigai is a divine tank located in the small village and devotees believe that this holy water has therapeutic powers.
