Mudhampatti Anjaneyar Temple and Trek


One of my favourite Anjaneyar temple , historical one with a natural rock formation. I get there once in a month in my bike going through a forest full of monkeys. I love this god and the area around it. Whenever I think of him, he appears infront of me in  the form of a money.

This temple located about 25 Kms from Dharmapuri town is one of the places that should be worth visiting. The Famous Anjaneyar temple is located here. This temple is considered to be the most powerful temple in dharmapuri by the local people. Devotees from Salem, Dharmapuri and Andhra are frequent vistors to this temple. To reach this temple you have to travel till Nallampalli( on the way to salem) from Dharmapuri by Gvt buses and from there about 4 Kms by walk. Most of them prefer to go by foot. But if you try for bus only one is available that too on saturdays. The best option is to hire a car. You will definitely enjoy the visit as the road to it will be covered by mounntains and river on both sides and if you are lucky you can see some wildanimals.
This temple is constucted in 1960 by the railway department. The swami(suyambu) will be in open air resembling the scenes of carrying sanjeevi hill. I usually get there for his blessing and feed the monkeys around the area. He will be there throughout my life in one or the other forms even though I move out of this Dharmapuri. I will move out next year, post comments to guide new devotees.
