Dedicated to Lord Murugan, the beautiful Marudhamalai Temple was built 1200 years ago. The temple is set on a hilltop and offers some great views of the adjoining lush landscape. The hilltop is rich in different medicinal herbs. During the rainy season, a number of medicinal herbs grow here, which are used in the preparation of medicines in Ayurveda. It is easy to reach the temple as it is located at a distance of 12 km from the Coimbatore railway station.
Marudhamalai Temple is one of the most renowned attractions of Coimbatore. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this beautiful temple is all around surrounded by numerous trees, plants and herbs. The hills set at the backdrop add to the beauty of the temple. Festivals like Thai Poosam and Tirukarthigai are celebrated in the temple on a large scale. During this time, devotees throng to the shrine in large numbers.
