OTHER TEMPLES


Kannappa Gudi - a single celled temple, with the icon of Kannappa, atop the hillock on the eastern side of the main temple. This is where the great devotee Kannappa offered his eyes to Lord Siva. There is a Sivalinga outside the temple under a tree, commemorating the whole episode of Kannappa.

Durgamba Hill - a 800 meters high hillock to the north of Sri Kalahastiswara temple, housing a small shrine of Durgamba. A flight of steep but broad steps, constructed recently, lead to the temple.

Kumara Swamy Hill - The small hillock, with a beautiful shrine Lord Kumaraswamy installed on a high pedestal, gives a panoramic view of the pilgrim town, while the broad courtyards surrounding the temple are a nice place to relax.
