Ancient temple of Lord Shiva in a small town Tharamangalam about 23 kms from Salem city. The shrine has beautiful and intricate sculptures on single-rock pillars and panels. The rotating circular structure lined with parrots in the roof near the main shrine is the star attraction besides the depiction of Rama with bow in one pillar and Vali and Sugriv confronting posture in another pillar reminds the famous battle scene in Ramayana. Thanks to the Temple administration for good upkeep of the temple.

Kanja Malai Siddhar Temple is present in a tranquil place with surrounding hillocks and marvelous greenery. If one is religiously attuned and admirer of our Great 18 Siddhas, Kanja Malai is a must go. Here Siddhar Kalanginathar guru of Boga Sitthar worshipped. One could feel Divine presence of Siddhar Swami upon meditating here. On top of a small Hillock which is accessible by both walk and by road, Lord Muruga (Karthikeya) is present. Very sacred place. When you visit Salem and have 3/4 hours at your hand, this place is a must go

This is a very famous temple. Thi maasam and Adi maasam is celebrated in a grand manner. All the priests are very kind and it has a huge ground where all the town people join together and keep Pongal with relatives and family. In my childhood days I used to go with my Grandfather and Brother weekly twice. Best Temple. Now renovation is going on

Wonderful hill station near Salem. Lots of places to visit and good for photography too. The Boat house is the best. Also try the street style Roasted Corns. Go to Pagoda point, ladies seat, sterling resort. Also enjoy the view from Hairpin bends. This is a wonderful place where flower show is conducted every year
