Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, one day is sufficient for the North Coimbatore temple tour as we have carefully planned the itinerary considering travel distances and temple visiting hours. The total distance covered is approximately 80-90 km. We start early to make the most of the day and provide enough time at each location for darshan and rituals.

  • Marudhamalai Murugan Temple is a 12th-century hill temple dedicated to Lord Murugan. It is traditionally regarded as the seventh in the list of the Six Abodes of Murugan. The temple is particularly known for helping couples longing to conceive children. The name "Marudhamalai" refers to the medicinal herbs (Marutham) found on the hill. The temple also has sacred springs or pools called Maruda Theertham and Skanda Theertham, which are believed to possess medicinal properties.

  • For temple visits, modest attire is recommended. Men should wear shirts/t-shirts with pants or dhotis. Women should wear sarees, churidars, or salwar kameez with dupattas. Shorts, sleeveless tops, and short skirts are not allowed in most temples. Footwear must be removed before entering the temples, so comfortable slip-on shoes are advisable.

  • Yes, you can participate in various rituals at these temples. At Marudhamalai Temple, abhishekam and archana can be performed for Lord Murugan. At Perur Pateeswarar Temple, you can witness or participate in special rituals for Lord Shiva. These special rituals may involve additional charges and sometimes need to be pre-booked. Our team can assist you with arranging these rituals if requested in advance.
