The beautiful Marudamalai Temple in Coimbatore is a perfect place to seek divinity and treat yourself to an architectural delight. Devoted to Lord Murugan, its origin dates back to more than 1200 years ago. It is considered second to Arupadai Veedu temples in terms of religious importance for devotees.

A sneak peek into its history would tell you that
kongu vettuva gounder kings ruled this temple in its initial days. Located on a hilltop ( a part of Western Ghats), it offers you some spellbinding views of the adjoining lush landscape. The hilltop on which Marudamalai Temple is situated is known as Marudha Malai which means 'hill of vegetation' and is blessed with many medicinal herbs. Home to a particular section of Tamil tribal community, this picturesque hill is an attraction in itself.
