  • This temple is situated in the high top of "Parvatha Hills" and the hight is 3000 ft from the ground level. Its very good temple but need lot of safety infrastructure measurements for climbing the mountain for the public. The Government should consider this as a holy place one and can develop it as a tourist place by providing sufficient infrastructure to the publice.
  • It is believed that Celestial beings come down to Parvatha Malai during the brahma muhurtham to offer prayers to lord shiva here. The climb to this mountain is quite difficult with some parts of the climb being nearly 90 degrees. Once one reaches the top, there is a nice fragrance that makes the person sleep and once the person wakes up, he sees that pooja has been performed for the lord. It is believed that human beings should not see the prayers offered by Celestial beings and hence they go to sleep during those hours. Sri. Chandrasekara Saraswathi Swamigal had in his bashyam about this hills said that lord shiva and a lot of siddha purushals live in the hill range in and around tiruvannamalai and it is sacrilegious even to set one's foot on these ranges.
  • Please visit youtube and search for upaddy. I have a video titled Parvadha Malai. I also have two albums in Picasaweb with photos of Parvadhamalai. Look for upaddy in Picasaweb and then look for Parvadha Malai in the photo albums.

  • I feel very happy to say that I claimed the Parvatha Malai twise.First time half on a Chitra pournamy day and next time full on an amavasai day.First time I wanted to see Parvatha malai. I saw. Next time I prayed to see the Lord. I saw Him and Her with their sons and Bhogar. Slept with Them .Of course at the Brhama muhurtham... Both wishes just got full filled.You know how? It is just the desire to see them ,at least once in my life time.No prayers..No offerings...but only the will to see them..You too can see them.Start your climbing .Just keep your eyes always looking up as if you are looking for some stars..and . and ..and think always that you are going to see Them whithin a short time.You can very easily claim the 90 degree Kadaparai padi and They will be with you for ever...

  • We will go on all full moon days to this temple. Most of us had a faith that some goodness will happen whenever we come and return from this temple. There are lot of chances of getting fell down while climbing this mountain but no one till date we’re dead by falling from this mountain. It’s really a great think there is a mountain slope in this mountain in which rods are stick to the mountain rocks with this help all should reach the top. Thanks to those who did that.
