Temple is one among the six Padaiveedu’s of Lord Muruga the 3rd Padaiveedu namely Arulmigu Thiruvaavinankudi temple. Thai Poosam and Panguni Uthiram festivals are very famous festivals and large number of devotees coming here at that time. 38 sub-temples are attached with this temples. It belongs to 9th century and the king namely Cheraman Peruman constructed this temple. Hugh crowds on weekends and auspicious days try to avoid such days.. Very poor management from the authorities no proper guidance in winch and rope car.. especially very tough for the infants and senior citizens.. all the crowds are trying to get a seat ad in local buses… highly needed proper management.. Better to go via steps. Tonsure will be free of cost but the guys will ask for 100rs each.. Overall beautiful Temple with poor management..

After a long, long time went to this hill temple during September 2023. In childhood days, it was difficult to climb the steps, and legs would have pain for a few days. This difficulty is still there since the hills run steep. But not difficult like childhood days. Alternatively, we can hike with fewer steps through the elephant path, which runs side to the steps. The annoying sound from base to the top is the constant announcements of helpline numbers. By winch and by road cars also we can reach the top. Crowded, though. The top is a hexagon shaped place. Free darshan, Rs.10 darshan, and Rs.100 darshan. Timing will be reduced based on the route taken. Better organized. Weekends, Tuesdays, and festival days, the hill temple is visited by a lot of people, and it's better to reach the temple early to avoid crowds and heat. In the end, we get to see and worship beautiful murugar. We will be pushed quickly, though. Can see ayyars arguing inside the temple for their share/care, and some take the devotees inside the temple without any tickets. Not sure how their conscience works. Daily Annadhanam is provided, and again, a long queue will be there. Toilets are there in the backside. The descending will be very easy and will be quick. On the way and down, many people take selfies and photos, which can be avoided. An entry ticket of Rs.60 was collected by Palani Corporation for four wheelers visiting the hills. Vehicles can be parked in free places provided. But all free parking will be a little distant from the hills. The whole town depends on this hills' temple visit by the devotees. More care should be taken to preserve the sacredness.

Very Blissful experience coming here and experiencing the grace of Lord Murugan. For those of you wondering 😜, there are 685 steps officially from the bottom to the top. Renovations to the temple are underway at the time of writing this review

I had a good experience at Palani. Totally we have to go through 670 steps to reach the temple, which was on the top of mountain. govt have also provided a Haulage Winch [3] (a small rope train) and a Rope Car to goto the temple on the top of the hill. From the hill top, one can have a beautiful view of entire Palani town and the agricultural places around it. Water was available there for every one km.So, people by walk can had break.

The world famous Hindu God Murugan is displayed to the devotees in various forms from the top of the mountain.

One of the temple in Arupadai Veedu. Small hill that can be claimed easy with steps or Elephant path. It will take max 45 min even if you rest and claim. Winch is available to top of the hill. Rope car is also available. But there are too much crowded. Instead of waiting in the queue you can prefer steps.

Divine place. It will be difficult if you are taking the stairs to reach the main idol of the presiding deity . Winch is there too. Sage Bogar [who made the navapasana idol] temple is there to the right of the main lord and try to meditate for sometime. Raja alangaram will be done to the deity in the evening. Don't rush to leave the temple in a hurry. spend some time and get some peace and blessings of the lord. This is the place where the jeevasamadhi of Bogar is there. According to me, the most powerful abode of Lord Muruga. Above all, plan in advance because devotees throng the temple. Try to read the history before going to this temple so that you will understand each detail

Palani temple was shrine visit. I find this place bit crowded place at the Darshan area as well as at the market area. Seems like people hardly follow any covid regulations. There was separation of line according to the tickets amout, there are rs 10, rs 100 and higher amount line for vip Darshan. Need to remove chappals below the entrance of the temple steps , the haircut area is also at the down of the temple..after the tonsure cremony the devotees has to visit the palani swamy temple on the top. There is also rope car facility to reach the top. But there is limit on the number of tickets availability, only 200 people in morning and other 200 tickets in evening ..cost per person is rs50 ..however need to reach early to this place to get a slot in rope car. There are 2 ways to walk down through the steps...one is steep and other is easy to get down. It was nice visit ..but bit crowded everywhere.

Hi friends. How are you doing? I have heard good about this temple. I am planning to visit this temple. Can anyone kindly guide me how to visit this temple? I want to know whether this temple is opened or not due to COVID-19. Please reply me. Thanks in advance 😊

It is the world's most significant temple dedicated to Lord Murugan. The Murugan temple is the reason Palani is famous. People from all around the state flock to Palani as devotees. One of the most significant festivals is Thaipoosam. It may access the temple via a stairway, ropecar, and winch. The temple is immaculate and well-maintained. Bikes and cars can be parked near the hill base.

This temple sits atop a stunning hill, radiating serenity amidst the beautiful, emerald-green surroundings. For those unable to ascend the steps, there are alternative options available such as a winch train or a rope bus.

one of the most visited Murugan temple in South India. Provides free and paid dharshanam.if u r planning to go now pls be careful because 90% of the people coming here doesn't use or wear mask and follow covid meaures. Temple is not providing staying place as of now. There s paid parking at the base of the temple. Tonga ride s available . Temple corporation tax of rs 30 s charged if u r going in private vehicles.Temple prasadham s available on top of the hill and free drinking water s provided from base of the hill till top.

The temple architecture is amazing and views were breathtaking. That was the highlight of the journey. We take winch train for up & down hill. For uphill journey we took Rs. 50/- ticket and we waited for 3 hours in the queue. Queues are provided with sitting facilities and drinking water. And for downhill Rs. 25/- ticket and took 1 hr waiting time. For Darshan also we waited for 1.30 hr.

Beautiful temple, we have three ways to reach the hill, by steps or rope car or train. Three ways of Darshan Normal Darshan or 100 rs or 10 rs.

Arulmigu Dhandayuthapani Swami Temple is First of the Six Abodes of Murugan(Aarupadai veedugal). It is located in the city of Palani earlier it was known as 'Thiruavinangudi' ,Dindigul district, 150 kilometres (93 mi) southeast of Coimbatore and northwest of Madurai in the foothills of the Palani Hills, Tamil Nadu, India. Palani temple is considered synonymous with Panchamritam, a sweet mixture made of five ingredients. As per Hindu legendary beliefs, Sage Narada visited the celestial court of Shiva at Mount Kailash to present to him a fruit, the gnana-palam (literally, the fruit of knowledge). He decided to award it to whichever of his two sons who first encircle the world thrice. Accepting the challenge, Murugan (Karthikeya) started his journey around the globe on his mount peacock. However, Ganesha, who surmised that the world was no more than his parents Shiva and Shakti combined, circumambulated them and won the fruit. Murugan was furious and felt the need to get matured from boyhood and hence chose to remain as a hermit in Palani. The idol of the Muruga in Palani was created and consecrated by sage Bogar, one of Hinduism's eighteen great siddhaars, out of an amalgam of nine poisonous herbs or Navapashanam. Other than the steps and sliding elephant way, there is a winch and rope car service used for transportation of devotees uphill. Six poojas are performed from 6.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m and special poojas on festival days in the temple, when it is open from 4.30 a.m. As of 2016, the temple was the richest among temples in the state with a collection of 33 crore during the period of July 2015 to June 2016.

Om muruga...What Graceful holy place..Really wonderful temple on the mountain..The temple is belongs Lord Dhandauthapani ..This Temple lord statue very rare element.. Because it's made bohar siddhar using 9 poison..It will cure lot of diseases...Very beautiful mountain . This place surrounded by lot of mountains..Must visit there and get lord murugan blessings..

What a divine experience! The main temple is on the hill top, had 670 steps to each the hill top. But you have 2 other options such as Train Winch and Rope car to take you to the top at 25 rupees and 40 rupees respectively. But, there would be atleast 1-2hours of waiting time but you would reach the top in 10mins and 3mins by winch and rope car respectively. So, even elders and kids can visit the temple if they have patience! The main deity Lord Murugar is worshipped here as AADI kolam in the morning upto 7:30am and later on, in the normal alangaram and Raja kolam. There are 6 Pooja’s happening daily and the temple is open from 5:00AM to 9:00 PM, they said they won’t close the temple in the afternoon. Now it’s Sabarimala season so all the devotees from Sabarimala visit here. I and my friends went inside for KAALA POOJA, which happens in the morning at 6:30-7AM and ticket cost was 900(2 persons) and extra 2 persons allowed at 150 rupees each. This was a very very special Pooja, we were allowed to sit infront of the main idol and saw Abhishegam, Aarti and we were given a bag of Prasadam too. The Pooja lasted for half hour and it was worth every penny. Had a divine feeling and bursted out of tears! Murugarukku Arogaraa 🙏 Must buy the devastanam Panchamirutham, which is very famous here and costs just 35 rupees available throughout the temple and even at the down adivaaram.. We went by steps in the morning , took about 40 mins and came back by winch to get that experience.. Must visit place in TAMILNADU and it gets the first highest collections in TN.. These are secondary, but the experience you get is very pure and pay your visit. Don’t forget to visit another murugan temple down, THIRUVAVINANKUDI near the adivaaram (down hill).. it is must visit place..

View from top is good just prepare in long waiting time. We saw there 3 lines free, 10 INR and 100INR. But I think lot of business going on even before entering the temple everyone is asking for money some how. Ex. Mask is not compulsory but lady at entrance will sell them by saying it compulsory to enter same way pujari do. Only good part seating place in waiting room you don't need to stand

Arulmigu dhandayuthapani temple which is called as palani murugan temple is a very good temple. When you pray with sincere faith, God helps you. People walk to this temple from home, climb steps, because they know lord muruga has been there for them Great place to visit especially for a Lord murugan devote overall you will get a good experience

Visited this temple after two days of thaipusam but not that much crowded when we went there. There are two different steps pathways which are available. The first one is the elephant path which is a short route, the second one is somehow steep steps I advise youngsters and adults may choose this path.

Great ambiance, powerful Lord Murugan's blessing. Plenty of positive vibes. Went on a Sunday and lots of crowd, but temple itself is such big, the crowd kept moving.

I visited Lord Murugan on 07th March. We used an elephant path to reach from the ground to the top. It took about 20min to reach over there. While return used steps of 500 Approx with 15 min of timing. The facilities of water and rest during the walk are really in a good planned manner. Thanks to the temple committee and the Tamil Nadu government. It's a very busy place and inspired you to come again.

If you love murugar visit this temple you will love him even more.. It's pleasant when you visit this temple... Best time to visit is weekdays. Do not visit in weekends. Use rope car facility, so that you will reach faster ...Winch(train) would take hours and hours to reach ..

Placed exactly near palani bus stand. Area around the temple is maintained very clean and neat. Great place to worship our murugan 🙏 View from the hill top is amazing. Rope car is behind the temple(back side of the hill). We had to walk more than 2 KM.

Palani temple has always been my favourite place and seeing muruga is a heavenly experience there. Temple is always crowded and visiting during weekdays is ideal except Tuesday. Also avoid paying more for any strangers to get a quick temple visit. The temple is well managed and if you pay for special darshan Rs.100 / 200 (special occasions) it will be a moving crowd. To avoid que you can book via Online and carry a ticket copy to enter the temple. Also go for winch as the crowd is fast moving and rope car is very slow as it can accommodate less people.

Very powerful God, I am fortunate to visit the temple. You can find lot of people who will help you. It's a must visit temple.

Om Muruga! Such a delightful experience this place offers!! Palani welcomes you with all around greenery and the hill in middle, just reflects the beauty of Lord Murugan!! We stayed in New Tirupur lodge, which is quite good. From there, the hill base is around 650m. There are two routes, one with ~700 steps & other one with mix of steps & gradual slope. Climbing takes around 45 mins which is faster than taking the winch. The winch is a joke, not a good experience at all. It is very slow & gradient of track is just too steep which spoils the whole fun. During the climb, take stops in between catch your breath & capture the magnificent views around. Upon climbing you'll be welcomed by a divine hill-top palace of Lord Murugan, just beautiful!. Darshan on weekends may take upto 2 hrs in 100₹ ticket but we come here for a purpose, don't we? Lord Muruga has given the people on earth a gift that one must experience atleast once in his/her life, it's graceful, it's divine, it's fulfulling & you feel joyful after getting to see Lord Muruga in Palani. Once Darshan is done, don't forget to get the Panchamirtham & other prasadams to share them with your loved ones along with his blessings.

Siddhar Bogar samathi is near the Lord Thandayuthapani shrine. Vibrant place.

Palani is famous temple about lord "Subramanya" here tamilnadu people will call him as "murugha" he is very powerful god. once you come here and pray for him definitely he will fulfil your problems. The temple is in small hill top you have steps to walk. And you have rope car to go up don't worry about old people and kids you can take them in the rope car. The fare of rope car each person is rupees 20/- and special is rupees 50/- only. Have a nice Darsham on Tuesday's. because Tuesdays is very famous days for lord "subramanya". You have lot of private buses from bangalore city to palani directly. You have train also from bangalore city railway station to Dindigul or madurai railway station. From there you have to take buses. The train name is tuticorn express which leaves from mysore to tuticorn alight at madurai or Dindigul. You have lot of hotels and restaurants here. For accommodation you have many lodeges to stay here.

Palani Arulmigu Shri Dhandayuthapani temple is one of the Six Abodes of Murugan. It is located in the town of Palani in Dindigul district, 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast of Coimbatore and northwest of Madurai in the foot-hills of the Palani hills, Tamil Nadu, India. The temple is situated upon the higher of the two hills of Palani, known as the Sivagiri. Traditionally, access to it was by the main staircase cut into the hill-side. Over the past half-century, three funicular railway tracks have been laid up the hill for the convenience of the pilgrims, and supplemented by a rope-way within the past decade.

Famous murugan koil..

Need to wait more than 2 to 3 hrs in queue and waiting rooms. Plan accordingly. Don't have a plan to have food inside waiting lobby because there is no water facility to do hand wash or drink. Some special permission allowed for aged persons , parents with kids less than a year, physically challenged persons

Serene temple, with an amazing vibe. With close to 700 stairs it not an easy climb especially considering the steepness..ropeway and winch do come in handy to make life easy.

Loved place..

Nice
