Madurai trip part 3 -- the sacred Chathuragiri hills

As we continued our journey after Azhagar Kovil, we were going through well laid state or national highway via T Kallupatti to Chathuragiri.

Asking directions here and there, going through the narrow roads with full of bushy trees and greenery we reached the base of the Chathuragiri hills called Thaaniparai.

The forest department has put well read messages, tents and temporary shops have grown around to fulfill the hunger and thirst needs of the pilgrims who will trek the hills.



The above picture captures the distant view of the hills as we go through the narrow road leading to Thaaniparai.

The first spot in the base of the holy hill is the Vana Durga temple and Karupanasami temple who powerfully guards the holy hills and its resources.
