History
The Velliangiri Mountains hold immense religious importance in Hinduism, particularly for devotees of Lord Shiva. The mountains are believed to be the place where Shiva performed his cosmic dance, and the seventh hill, known as Velliangiri Andavar Temple, houses a Swayambhu (self-manifested) Shiva lingam. Historically, the region has been a center for asceticism and spiritual practices. The tribal communities inhabiting the foothills have maintained a deep connection with the mountains, preserving their cultural heritage and traditional knowledge. Over centuries, the Velliangiri Mountains have drawn countless pilgrims seeking spiritual solace and divine blessings. The mountains continue to be a revered site, attracting visitors from all walks of life.
