Palani Murugan Temple, dedicated to Lord Muruga, is located atop
a hill —150m above sea level. Have you ever wondered what is the name of the
hill on which Palani Murugan Temple is located?
To reach the temple, we have to climb 693 stone steps or
take the winding ‘elephant footpath’ through sacred groves.
The temple stands atop a hill called Siva-giri, meaning ‘Shiva’s
hill’. The one beside it is called Shakti-giri, or Shakti’s hill.
