The temple location was fascinating view among the mountains. The location can be traced to Coimbatore . Rail, Road and Public Buses connect to this location easily. 20-30 km from the main city there are buses from Gandhipuram, the city bus stop. Historical , awesome view and picnic spot for the Temple lovers . Accomodations are at Coimbatore. There is a 1-2 hour climb if you choose to go by foot. You can do a partial climb up the stairs in 10-20 minutes from the car or taxi stand. The public buses connect you from base to the top of the hills. Great archana, Darshan and satisfaction of seeing Muruga with his wifes, valli and Devayanai. There is a separate temple for the lord siva parteeswara and his wife . A walk behind takes you to Pambati sittar and saptakanni temple. The lord appears at this location and gives his devotte a vision and advice.
