The Marudhamalai Murugan Temple, or the Maruthamalai Marudhachalamurthy Temple, is a 12th-century hill temple situated in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. Built by Tamil kings during the Sangam period as indicated in the Purananuru, the temple is dedicated to Murugan, a form of Kartikeya. It is traditionally regarded to be the seventh in the list of the Six Abodes of Murugan. Like most Murugan temples, the temple is situated upon a hill, part of the Western Ghats about 12 km west from the centre of the city of Coimbatore. Thaipusam and other festivals dedicated to the deity are celebrated here. On many evenings, devotees gather for a procession of Murugan sitting in a chariot (ratha yatra) and encircle the temple. The temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu.
