Marudamalai Temple

Marudamalai Temple is dedicated to the Hindu deity Lord Murugan or Kartikeya and is situated atop a hill of the same name. The hills are a part of the Western Ghats and the surroundings are picturesque to look at.

The Temple complex is built in a unique Dravidian style which is 1200 years old and its colorful gopuram is amazing to look at. It is also considered that the hills are a home to various types of medicinal herbs.

Coimbatore International Airport (CJB) is the primary airport serving the city of Coimbatore in South India. It is located at Peelamedu, about 13 km (8.1 mi) from the center of the city. This Airport is the nearest airport to this Temple.

Getting Around Coimbatore

Intra city buses are the cheapest mode of conveyance but may be a challenge for a newcomer. If you do venture out on them and get stranded, ask the locals who are extremely helpful. Auto-rickshaws are the more expensive jaw-jarring option. Cabs and rented cars are most convenient and it is possible to hire them for the trip to Ooty too.
