Uthanda VelayudhaSamy Temple, Uthiyur, Hindu temple in Uthiyur Hills, India.

The Uthanda Velayudha Samy Temple is a Hindu shrine located on a hilltop in Uthiyur within the Tiruppur region. The structure is organized in sections and is approached by stairs that lead to the entrance on the southern side.

The shrine was built in the 9th century and stands among the ancient religious sites of the region. It was mentioned in classical Tamil literature, connecting its past to present-day worship.

The temple serves as a gathering place for Tamil devotees who come together during major festivals to pray and celebrate their faith. These occasions bring the community together throughout the year and shape the religious rhythm of the region.

The shrine sits on a hillside, so wear comfortable shoes and allow time for climbing the stairs. The best time to visit is early morning when it is cool and the light is pleasant.

The idol in the shrine faces east, while a similar figure at a nearby temple is oriented differently. This detail surprises many visitors and shows local variations in religious practice.
