    Very ancient, powerful temple in and around coimbatore. As many of you know already the purpose of visiting this temple is to safe guard ourselves from snakes, scorpions etc. Ambience: The temple is well maintained, clean and pieceful. As a practice devotees cook Pongal for ayyan and get the pooja done. For cooking Pongal there is a separate dedicated place where more than 30 families can cook simultaneously. They also keep wood for burning purpose. I attached few snaps of cooking place. It is very neat and clean. Water for cooking and water for vessel washing also available. Dining area: After cooking it will be taken to Pooja in main temple. Once after returning we can go to the dining area. The dining area again it's great and equipped with fans. Many families can dine at same time. It is again clean and neat. There is also separate pipes for drinking and hand wash. Free food: This temples equipped with free lunch for poor or old age peoples. They provide free food for 100 first come first serve basis. I believe this is done by tamilnadu government in many temples. Parking: There are good number of spots for parking many cars can be parked. No issues for parking and its free. Theertha: In temple we can collect the theertha which is believed to be powerful. So what people do is to pour this theertha around the house which seems to be believed safe guarding the house.

    Good temples and beautiful places. Calm area. Those who are doing Pathayathra, they will reach here fourth day and stay here for pooja and next day again they will start their walking. For Nagadosam and Sarppa dosam this temple is good and all will get gods grace.

  • 5/5 Dharani kumar K. 3 years ago on Google
    The Temple is open from 05.30 A.m. to 08.30 P.m. Arulmigu Vazhai Thottathu Ayyan Temple is located 40 Kms from the east of Coimbatore & about 20 Kms west of Tirupur and 4 Kms from Somanur situated in V.Ayyampalayam. Vazhai Thottathu Ayyan Temple is located on the banks of River Noyyal at Palladam in Tiruppur district of Tamil Nadu. Lord Shiva is the presiding deity of this temple in the divine form of Shivalinga.. Ayyan Guru Pooja is the only festival celebrated for three days in the month of Margazhi (December - January every year). Apart from this, Tamil and Telugu New Year Day, Adi Perukku, Adi Amavasai, Deepavali, Karthigai deepam, Markazhi Poojai, Thai Pongal, Thai Amavasai, Maha Sivarathri and Panguni Uthiram are celebrated every year. Speciality: The soil of the ant – hill under the Kiluvai Tree in the ‘Karpagraham’ of the temple has the power to cure poisonous bites, and various skin diseases. Permitting men devotees into the ‘Karpagraham’ to do poojas on their own is a practice unique of this temple and is never found in any other temple in the whole of Tamilnadu.

  • 5/5 sabarish c. 1 year ago on Google
    A historical Place with good maintenance. The pillars are carved with History and More devotional. The statues are notably carved with excellence. The temple gives a fulfilling experience while visiting there. The sand provided for the devotees are powerful and if kept in home the snakes and other insects are restricted to enter. It's a kind of solution for some peoples to avoid reptiles. One of the Must visit place in Coimbatore.

  • 3/5 Somasundaram R. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Prakashkumar S. 11 months ago on Google
    This is located 14 km from palladam. After crossing palladam you should take right turn from karanampettai junction. It’s claimed that this is a powerful temple which restrains the poisonous things from entering the living area also it’s believed by locals that the soil of that yogis land is a medicine for skin allergies. Some years ago when we went we had stumbled by the mass crowd and we returned without prayer and now we went early morning to avoid the crowd. And as expected we didn’t have any crowd in the morning. Locals said that if you want to avoid the crowd try to visit before 10 AM or after 5PM. Overall it’s a good temple to visit and I am not sure about the things that they claim.

  • 4/5 Gokul J. 1 year ago on Google
    Took around 1 hour to reach from gandhipuram in a car with Google maps assistance. The temple is a must visit in case any dealing with skin disorders. The mud from this temple is believed to be sacred and able to cure certain disorders. Secondly if there are any snake related doshangal then it is advised to visit this temple and have the mud put on your forehead.

  • 3/5 Balasubramani v. 1 year ago on Google
    Though temple is maintained well, staff, especially Dept staff behaves indifferently.70 years old from Chennai after searching reached the temple at 8.15 pm, he started switching off lights, however I had dharsan, he started pushing me telling closing time at 8.30 pm. In my lifetime first time I had that bitter experience in the temple. Better post God-fearing people to accommodate pilgrims.

    Vazhaithotathu Thiru Ayyan Kovil is a divine place with a unique history of an ordinary person transforming into an accomplished saint, making this temple special. Our visit was prompted by an incident where my wife accidentally stepped on a snake, and it's believed that visiting Ayyan Kovil can provide a remedy. The temple opens at 4 pm in the evening, and we were pleasantly surprised by the minimal waiting time. They charge around 100 rupees for milk offerings, 120 for abhisekam items like coconut banana etc. You can purchase chits for archana, pal abhishekam, and coconut abhishekam at 5, 10 and 5 rupees, respectively. The temple exudes a divine aura that's truly captivating. As you enter, you'll notice a designated area for the sacrifice of goats and chickens. The main temple, although old, emanates positive vibrations. The temple priests are dedicated, performing their duties with chants and assisting with archana chits. Outside the temple, there's ample parking space, but there isn't a dedicated shoe or slipper rack. The routes leading to the temple are well-maintained, although quite narrow. Notably, there are multiple entrances, each marked by an arch, adding to the temple's unique charm.

    I have visited here on Dec/2020, Temple area was very neat and clean. Due to COVID situation as of now no rush at all. Parking available for both two wheelers and four wheelers. People can bring food and have it here in a hall in front of the temple. Rest rooms were really in bad condition. Smelly and dirty. Temple management should work on that to keep it neat and clean. Overall it’s a good temple where we can spend time with family.
