Many of you answered correctly. Yes, that’s none other than Sathuragiri Sundara Mahalingam Temple. This is one of Tamil Nadu’s most revered Shiva pilgrimage centers, nestled in the Western Ghats near Vathirairuppu in Virudhunagar district. The hill is believed to have been formed by the convergence of the four Vedas, giving rise to the name Sathuragiri, “Chathur” meaning four, “Giri” meaning hill. Trek to the Temple: - The temple is reached through a forest trek of approximately 7–8 km from the foothills. - The route passes through streams, caves, Siddhar shrines, and dense greenery, making the journey itself a spiritual experience. - To reach the sacred Sathuragiri Sundara Mahalingam Temple, the most commonly used route is through Thaniparai, the base village for the trek. From Chennai: 1. Travel by train or bus to Srivilliputhur or Madurai. 2. From Srivilliputhur, take a bus to Watrap (Vathirairuppu). 3. From Watrap, hire an auto or take a local bus to Thaniparai, the trekking starting point. Trekking time: 3–5 hours uphill and 2–4 hours downhill, depending on fitness and crowd levels. It’s advisable to start early and carry water and light snacks. Important Festivals - Aadi Amavasai (largest gathering) - Thai Amavasai - Maha Shivaratri - Chithirai Festival - Margazhi Thiruvathirai - Pradosham celebrations Sacred Places on the Hill: - Sundara Mahalingam Temple - Santhana Mahalingam Temple - Korakkar Cave - Vana Durga Shrine - Irattai Lingam - Agaya Ganga Theertham - Naval Ootru Best Time to Visit: The most pleasant period is from October to February, though devotees visit throughout the year, especially on Amavasai and Pournami days.

Beautiful vigraham of Shri Kandaswamy (Murugan) at Poravacheri (Porul vaitha cheri) Sokkalinga swamy temple near Nagapattinam.

Have you noticed this hidden gem, Simma Theertham, during your Thiruvannamalai Girivalam?

Hanuman ji appeared on your timeline to remove all your obstacles.

Instead of spending half a crore on an useless arch, TN HR&CE could have renovated 2 dilapidated temple in TN. @RameshOffcl FYI TN HR&CE, the below temples are under your administration.

Thiru Uthirakosamangai Temple First among Shivalaya, here Uthiran is Shiva, Kosham means secret and Mangai means Devi.. Shiva here taught Devi veda aagamana & tandavam as secret. Emarald Natarajar is famous here which cannot be seen anywhere

யார் அப்பன் வீட்டு காசு? பழனியப்பன் கோயில் காசு? எதுக்காக அலங்கார வளைவு? அறநிலையத்துறைச் சட்டத்தில் இதற்கு எங்கு அனுமதி உள்ளது? இந்தக் கொள்ளைகளை எல்லாம் விசாரிக்காமல் அமைச்சர் @RameshOffcl இவற்றைத் திறந்து வைக்கலாமா?

Extremely rare lotus stem lingam at Perumagalur Shri Somanatha Swamy near Peravurani, Tanjavur. Linga thirumeni is in vidanga (swayambu) form here. It is said that SriTribhuvana Maharishi transformed a lotus stem from lakshmi theertham into a lingam with his yogic powers and worshipped here. Later, a Chola king found this rare lingam in the water and embraced it out of ecstasy. The markings from his pearl ornaments can still be seen in the linga thirumeni. He built a grand temple and installed this lingam. Another uniqueness of this temple is the presence of 5 coconut trees grown from the same root. Ambal blesses as Sundarambikai. A chandra dosha parihara sthalam, devotees light lamps in lotus stems here for prosperity.
