Marudhamalai, Hindu temple in Coimbatore district, India
The temple stands atop a 600-foot granite hill within the Western Ghats range, featuring 837 steps leading to the main shrine.
Tamil kings constructed this temple during the 12th century, with stone inscriptions revealing its original names as Marudhan and Marudhachalam.
The temple celebrates major festivals including Thai Poosam, where devotees participate in processions carrying Lord Murugan's chariot around the premises.
The temple opens daily from 6:00 AM to 8:30 PM, with free entry and multiple transportation options including buses from Coimbatore city.
A tunnel connects Lord Murugan's sanctum sanctorum to Pambatti Siddhar's cave, where the deity appeared as a snake to the 12th-century saint.
