Maruthamalai Marudhachalamurthy Temple, Hindu temple on Marudhamalai hill, Tamil Nadu, India
The temple stands atop a 600-foot granite hill, featuring a main shrine dedicated to Lord Murugan with black granite sculptures and traditional Tamil architecture.
The temple construction began in the 12th century under Chola dynasty rule, with subsequent additions by Pandya and Nayaka rulers incorporating various architectural elements.
The Thai Poosam festival in January and February brings devotees together for religious ceremonies, including chariot processions around the temple complex.
The temple maintains two daily visiting periods from 6:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with free entry and locker facilities for personal belongings.
The temple contains a sacred tunnel connecting the main sanctuary to Pambatti Siddhar's cave, where Lord Murugan appeared in snake form during the 12th century.
