The temple is located on the arterial road that runs through the hills, the road on which buses fly. There are regular govt bus service from Namakkal right up to the temple. The temple, named 'Thiru Araippalli', is a devara vaipputh thalam being mentioned in the poetry of Thirugnana Sambandar and Appar. 'Arai' means hill and 'palli' means temple. As per legend, the eighteen Siddhars of Tamil tradition worshiped at the temple and their idols can be found along the outer wall (mathil) of the temple. The temple is decent size with a single prakaram. Sannidhis for Muruga, Vinayaga, Lakshmi, Saraswathi, Jeshta devi, Navagraha, Bairava, Surya and Chandra can be found on the prakaram. Muruga of this temple is famous and was sung by Arunagirinathar. The main deity is Arappaleeswarar and the goddess is named Aram valartha nayagi. Standing in front of the sanctum, we can simultaneously have darshan of the lord, goddess and murugan. There is a small river that runs right next to the temple which can be reached by climbing down about 50 steps. The agaya gangai water falls, the main attraction of Kolli hills, is also formed by the same river. The entrance to the steps leading to the falls is right opposite the temple. There are several small shops around the temple that sell tea, coffee, snacks and beverages, along with local produce such as pepper, pineapple, jack fruit and millet. Overall, a highly serene temple - don't miss it.
