Kalugasalamoorthy Temple, Hindu temple in Kalugumalai, Tamil Nadu, India
The temple features a gateway leading to a pillared hall and a sanctum containing a four-foot-tall image of Murugan in seated position.
The core temple structure displays rock-cut architecture from the early Pandyan period, with significant expansions made during the eighteenth century.
The temple holds four daily ceremonies and major festivals including the Vaikasi Visagam, Kanthasasti, Thaipoosam, and Panguni Uthiram celebrations throughout the year.
Visitors can access the temple from 5:30 AM to 12:30 PM and 4:30 PM to 9 PM through regular bus services and trains connecting to Thoothukudi.
