Why this temple matters

A rare temple where the Trimurti are worshipped together in one lingam. Its musical pillars and towering Hanuman make it a favourite stop on the way to Kanyakumari.

The story

Anasuya, wife of the sage Atri, was tested by the three gods, and by her purity turned them into infants. When their consorts begged her, she restored them, and they stayed here together as Thanumalayan.

What to look for

  • The musical pillars, carved from single stones, that ring with different notes
  • The tall Hanuman statue
  • Fine stone carving throughout

Festivals and when to go

  • Margazhi festival (December–January)
  • Chithirai festival

The practical truth

  • Men usually remove shirts inside the temple.

Timings, rules and festival dates change. We confirm the current details for every yatra.
