Kalimala Temple




Kalimala Temple is a beautiful shrine situated on the Western Ghats, about 3000 ft above sea level, near the Kerala - Tamil Nadu border, in Tamil Nadu. It is positioned towards the eastern part of Kurisumala, on the same mountain, about 40 km from Thiruvananthapuram and about 30 km from Nagercoil, in Kanyakumari District. The word ‘Kalimala’ literally means ‘the mountain of Goddess Kali’. The temple is structurally very small but it houses a beautiful idol of Goddess Kali. A narrow path (about 6 km) connects the temple with the foot of the mountain. The nearest airport is at Thiruvananthapuram. Nagercoil Junction Railway Station is the closest railway station.
