The temple is dedicated to Goddess Shri Raja Rajeshwari Amman and Lord Murugan who symbolize wisdom, courage, and protection in Hinduism. The temple is not only a place of worship, but also a spiritual center that teaches the values of Dharma (truth), Bhakti (devotion), and Shakti (power).
The 17-meter (55-foot) statue of Lord Murugan located in Padang Cermin Village, Kecamatan Selesai, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra, has been recognized by the Indonesian World Records Museum (MURI) as the tallest statue in Indonesia. The award was given on July 28, 2019. The construction of this magnificent statue involved 11 architects and carvers who were brought directly from Tamil Nadu, India, to ensure every detail reflected the beauty and majesty of the distinctive architectural art. The pratima stands right next to the Shri Raja Rajeshwari Amman Temple. The temple and pratima and the vast and beautiful complex have been slated to become one of the important religious tourism destinations in North Sumatra.
The perimeter of the temple is adorned with various carvings of Hindu religious stories and the Pratima/Arca of Lord Murugan is complemented by the Arupadai Veedu which are the six sacred appearance places of Lord Murugan in Tamil Nadu, India.
It has a beautiful and lush natural scenery that provides a sense of peace and tranquility for all visitors.
