Dharmalinga Malai, Hindu temple on hilltop in Madukkarai, Tamil Nadu, India.

The Dharmalinga Malai temple structure stands atop a hill, requiring visitors to climb 800 stone steps to reach the main shrine of Lord Shiva.

The temple site holds connections to ancient Indian mythology, as the Pandava brothers visited this location during their exile to worship the Swayambulinga.

During the Chitra Poornima festival, 35,000 to 40,000 devotees participate in Girivalam by walking around the sacred hill in prayer.

The temple maintains regular hours from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with bus routes 3, 3B, 96, 48 connecting from Coimbatore.

A mango tree near the Navagraha shrine at the hill base produces fruits with three different tastes, while a perennial well provides water during droughts.
