Very nice Murugar (Subramanya / Karthik) temple. The sanctity of the place is well preserved.. We also got great views from the temple. It seems like the temple is on one of the peaks, so you get good views all around.

The temple visit was good to start our sightseeing trip in Kodaikanal. The temple is historic and clean with deities like in any Hindu temple. I liked the fact that it was not very crowded and was well maintained. If you are a believer, its a good temple to visit but don't expect anything like Akshardham, Tirupati, Isckon, etc. You... More

A lovely temple with a strong sense of Lord Subramanya Environment, Serene, vibrating and spiritual. You get a distinct spiritual feeling that is typical to Lord Subramanya's Hill Abodes. One can see Palani Temple from there and you feel so miniscule on feeling the mighty spirituality

The temple is having a Kurinji plant which blossoms only once in 12 years. It’s told that Kurinji is a rare plant species and know for its rare phenomenon of blooming once... More
