Arulmigu Thiru Moorthy Temple




Arulmigu Thiru Moorthy Temple is situated at the foot of Thirumoorthy Hills near the Thirumoorthy Dam. It is believed that Sage Atri lived here with his wife Anasuya. A myth is associated with this place - once Lord Shiva with Brahma and Vishnu came to test the sage's devotion. Pleased with the couple, the Trinity blessed them. The place came to be known as Thirumoorthy hills because the gods had made their appearance there.

Amavasai Pooja and Pournami Pooja are the main festivals.

This temple is located at Kinathukadavu, 11 km on the Coimbatore - Pollachi road.
