Alagar Koyil

About Alagar Koyil

Alagar Koyil IS a mountain temple of Lord Kallalagar, a form of Vishnu, set deep amid the forested hills of the Alagar hills ON the eastern outskirts of Madurai. The serpentine road leading to the shrine winds through dense, pristine greenery. The temple tank, ancient walls AND beautifully sculpted gopurams speak of centuries of devotion IN a serene natural setting. The annual Chithirai festival, WHEN the deity makes a dramatic procession into Madurai, IS the temple's grandest moment. For those seeking a combination of spirituality AND nature, Alagar Koyil offers a tranquil hilltop darshan AND some of the finest scenery IN the Madurai region.
