They are ardent devotees of Lord Subramanya, who formed a committee to celebrate the Aadi Krithigai. They wanted to get the idol of Lord Ganesha from the Chapati in Chidambaram. Lord Subramanya himself appeared in their dreams and asked them to avoid salt until the construction of the temple was completed.

Skandagiri sri shanmukha swami devalayam also known as subrahmanya swami, blessed to have my first visit unexpectedly on subrahmanya shashti, the temple is situated on top of a hill padmarao nagar back side of Gandhi hospital secunderabad.
