Annamalai Murugan Temple

Main deity at the Annamalai Murugan Temple

The Nilgiris district comprises of six taluks - Udhagamandalam (Ooty), Kundah, Coonoor, Kotagiri, Gudalur and Pandalur.

The drive on road from Ooty or Coonoor to Kundah is a pleasant experience. There are several interesting places to visit.

I will give you some information about the Annamalai Murugan Temple in Kundah. This is a famous Murugan Temple in the Nilgiris, and devotees from the Nilgiris and even beyond like Coimbatore throng this temple during festival days.

The Annamalai hill top is a calm, serene and picturesque location surrounded by lush green tea estates and silver oak trees. It is about 30 kms from Ooty and Coonoor. Take the road from either Ooty or Coonoor to Kundah dam or Manjoor, and from there, locals should be able show you the way to the temple.

The website www.annamalaiashramtrust.org has all information about this temple. Please do also take a look at the picture gallery in the website for awesome pictures of the temple and its surroundings.

This hill top is a very calm place to meditate, and I strongly recommend you to visit this temple during next visit to this beautiful hill station.


May the almighty bless all of us abundantly this New Year.

Cheers
