Sathuragiri Hills (சதுரகிரி; caturakiri), also known as "Chathuragiri" or "Sundara Mahalingam",^[1] is a pilgrimage site located 10 km from Watrap, near Srivilliputhur, in the state of Tamil Nadu in South India.^[2] The hills are a part of the Western ghats.

There are a few specific days when the general public is permitted to visit the Sathuragiri Hills. These days include new moon and full moon days and on two Pradhosham days . Visiting hours are between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Origin of the name[]

The name Sathuragiri originates from the words "Chathur" means "Four," and "Giri" means "Hill." An alternative origin for the name is attributed to the fact that the hill is square-shaped and therefore known as "Chathuragiri." Sathuragiri is known as the Abode of God.
