PARVATHAMALA MALLIKARJUNA TEMPLE
A Temple at this site is believed to have existed for the last 2000 years and unknown exactly when the current Temple was constructed at the top of Parvathamalai. However a record (Malai Padu Kadaam) shows that King Maa Mannan Nandan who was ruled at Pulur, during the era of middle 300 A.D used to visit a Temple frequently and worshiped Lord Shiva and the other Goddess. 2000 years ago great Siddhas constructed a Temple at the top of the hill for doing meditation.
Another story about the origin of Parvathamalai, it was formed when a part of the Sanjeevani mountain that Lord Hanuman carried, fell down to form this ParvathaMala hill. The hill is also popular for its medicinal plants. Devotees mentioned the hills hosts 119 varieties of medicinal herbs.
Reaching the top of Parvathamalai is a herculean task. It is a vertical mountain over 4,000 feet in height that has iron rod steps, track steps, ladder steps, and sky steps not found at any other sacred mountains. The Kadapaarai Padhai section of the climb up the Hill is considered to be the toughest part of the trek. This part which is punctuated by iron rods drilled into the rocks and chains to assist during the sharp ascent is also only wide enough to accommodate one-way traffic. Thus one has to raise one’s voice from the bottom of this section and wait for acknowledgment from the other end before starting to climb the Kadapaarai Padhai section.
This place is filled with stories of miracles witnessed in one form or another. Devotees often report seeing images of both the snake and trishulam when lighting camphor in front of Lord Shiva.
