    Even though this temple is only 13 years old, i loved it for the location, peace, family time and more importantly less crowd. There is no line for VIP, managed privately hence all donations go to the temple maintenance only. There are 1007 Shiva Lingam around the main Shiva deity. Every deity is of Enormous structure and majestic beauty. There are 7 layers of the hillock. Vinayagar, Perumal, Ashta Lakshmi, Ayyappan, Anjaneyar, 6 padai Murugan and Shiva and Raja Rajeshwari as we climb up one layer to another. Such beauty all over the hillock. Parking area separate. Vehicle allowed to drop old people on top layer and allowed to come back. Parking sepately provided near entrance.

    Amazing place it is! We have 1008 Shiva Lingas there. All these Shiva Lingas have their own small temples, their own Nandi facing towards them and also a havankund. It also has a Ganapati temple along with the temples of other Gods. There is one very big Shiva Linga in the center of all the Shiva Lingas.

    1008 shivalingas are here along with other temples. Would suggest to approach the temple by taking left on a road next to it Approach it from the back if you are coming by car. If you are lucky you will see the elephant as well.

    Discovered this place completely by Accident... Imagine the dedication of the community to carve 1008 Shiva Lingas and 1008 Nandi Bulls from stone... Just touching the main highway but quite if you reach the top of the hill...

    This is a great place to go. But the thing is there are timings to see big Shivan. Till 12pm and will reopen at 4pm. Slippers are allowed so you don't have to leave it before climbing the mountain and vehicles are allowed too.

    1008 Shiva & Rajarajeshwari Temple in Salem is a divine haven. The architecture is breathtaking, and the spiritual energy is palpable. The idols of Lord Shiva and Goddess Rajarajeshwari are mesmerizing. The temple's cleanliness and well-kept surroundings reflect the dedication of its management. The priests conduct rituals with utmost devotion, making each visit a spiritually enriching experience. It's conveniently located, making it accessible to all. This temple is not just a place of worship but a destination of peace and enlightenment. Visiting here brings a sense of serenity that's truly unmatched. Highly recommend!

    Great that we visited this place in salem, this is like a mountain, and in each layer there are shiva linga in small gopura, also on top there is devi mandira, and layer wise we have shiva, hanuman, rama, ganesh, govinda temple and many more. Walk around and experience is good. We will get to visit and vership all god at one place and good positive vibe.

    No words to describe the structure of 1008 Shivlingams,so beautiful and great temple too in the hilltop,....only problem is,we won't be able to worship all the Lingams for which lot of energy is needed..but we can worship the 108 Lingams instead...

    Nice temple to reach with a small drive from Salem.. Temple is always free and calm.. Big Shiva statue and many smaller statues around the temple will keep you feel amazed. Best time would be early morning or evening before sun set. Recently cars were not allowed to climb the small hill and asked to park down.

    I was in salem for a day (I was on way from calicut to Puducherry). I wanted to visit place in salem. This temple is really great. Pandits are very helpful.

  • 4/5 Praveen B. 6 months ago on Google
    Good place to visit once. The main shiv Lingappa is extremely huge. Good parking. But I couldn’t find washrooms. All boards are in Tamil and people don’t speak any other language other than Tamil which is a centuries old issue in TN, thus one star less, rest all good

  • 5/5 K Raja Prasanna A. 10 months ago on Google
    People who have to plan accordingly to see all 1008 Shiva Lingam.. There is no other place in the world where the idol of Brahman (பிரம்மா - God who created us) is found. After the Shiva Lingam in the Tanjore Big Temple, here is the biggest Shiva lingam statue you have ever seen.. And here there is Everyone born in the 90's knows about the Raja Rajeshwari series, that Raja Rajeshwari temple is not seen anywhere else in the world like here and millions of eyes want to see it. Shouldn't take Photos on any of these..

    You can pass 2-3 hours visiting this beautiful temple when you are visiting Salem as a tourist. It is one of the best places to visit in Salem. There are 1008 Siva lingams, some Murugan temples, and a Perumal temple. You can see the tremendous Siva lingam on the top of the hill. And I enjoyed that the monkeys are climbing the temples & sitting near the lingams. Finally, each Siva lingam has a name. It is an amazing thing I had seen.

    பிற மாவட்டங்களில் இருந்து வருபவர்கள் 12 மணிக்கு மேல் தான் வந்து சேருவர். எனவே நடை சாத்தும் நேரம்12-4:30 கு பதிலாக 1-4:30 என்று மாற்றினால் நன்றாக இருக்கும்.

    Located 10 km (Salem to Coimbatore Highway) from salem Bus stand. There is a Siva Temple, Perumal Temple and seperate places for most for Tamil gods. You get relax and peaceful. At noon it will be hot so you can visit in morning or evening and during (01.00 PM to 04.00PM) temple will be closed, but you cam visit those 1008 sivalingas at that time

    Beautiful temple located on the outskirts of Salem. This temple has 1008 lingams. It is well maintained by the temple management. The main lingam sanctum is located on top of a small hill. Its a delight to watch. Slippers can be worn till the top. The temple closes at 12PM and reopens at 3:30PM. A must visit. I highly recommend this place when visiting Salem.
