The favourite and quiet Kodaikanal Lake is just 3 kilometers far from the site of this temple, which indicates that many devotees and travelers want to experience these 2 stunning sites together. But, it is neither of these things that the Kurinji andavar Temple Kodaikanal is famous for. Kurinji Temple, situated a ways off of around 5 km from the bus station, is also known as Kurinji Andavar Temple. Devoted to Lord Muruga, the God of Hills according to the Tamil writing, tourists visiting this temple can appreciate excellent perspective on Vaigai dam and Palani hills. This Temple is also a scene for summer festival, which is commended in the long stretch of May each year. During this festival, tourists rush the sanctuary so as to seek the blessings of Lord Muruga. This Temple also has an interesting history, as it was constructed during colonization by a European lady who later changed over to Hinduism and is presently affectionately called woman Ramanathan. Kodaikanal Palani Hills also surround this Temple, which means that you will be surrounded by excellence on each of the four sides when you go there, which is the thing that almost all temples in Kodaikanal have to bring to the table.
