Sri Subramanyaswamy Temple is also known as Marudhamalai Murugan Temple. He also has several other names such as Marudhachalamurthy, Marudhamalai Andavar, Marudhachalapathi, Dhandayuthapani etc. Sri Murugan has Six Padai Veedu Temples but Devotees fondly consider this Maruthamalai Temple as the 7th Padai Veedu. Marudhamalai is a small hillock located on the outskirts of Coimbatore City. The Subramaniya Swami Temple located atop the Marudhamalai Hill is surrounded by lush green forestry. The Temple Administration runs a Mini Bus Service from the foot Hills of the Temple to the Temple Top. There is a Welcome Arch at the foothills of the hillock and Devotees opting to travel by their own vehicles have to pay a stipulated Entrance fee for this. Marudhamalai Hill is full of Marudha Maram or Trees. This Temple is unique since the Temple has been built on the eastern face of the hill during the 12th century. The Southern side of the Temple has a Cave in which the Paambaati Siddhar had lived then. It is widely believed that Sri Murugan had come here in the form of a Divine Snake to Bless the Paambaati Siddhar. This Paambaathi Siddhar is  considered to have done Penance here.There is also a tunnel which leads from the Sanctum Sanctorum of the Temple to the Paambaati Siddhar's Cave. From the foothills till the Temple Top there are a few Mandabams in which Devotees travelling by foot could sit for a while and relax. Enroute there is a Sub Shrine for Thaan Thondri Vinayagar. The Sub Shrine of Idumban too attracts a lot of Devotees. Likewise Kudhirai Kulambu Mandabam, Paambaati Siddhar Cave, Uchi Pillaiyar Sub Shrine and the Pancha Viruksham are the other important places that have to be seen. The Presiding Deity of this Temple is Sri Subramanya Swamy who is seen in the Sanctum Sanctorum flanked on either side by His Consorts Valli and Devasena. He looks resplendent and dazzling to the eyes of the Devotees. The Presiding Deity who stands East facing looks charming and is made out of granite stone and stands 5 feel tall.  There are 12 rooms at the foothills for the Devotees to sit and relax. There is a Wedding Hall on the hill top and Marriages are celebrated here. Notable Film Producer M.M.A.Chinnappa Thevar had done a lot of constructive measures for the betterment of this Temple. In fact he had cleared the bushy pathway leading from the foothill of this Temple to the Temple top and had constructed steps for the sake of the Devotees who wish to climb the hill by foot. He also installed tubelights on either side of the Pathway as a safety measure.The Marudha Maram is the Sthala Viruksham of this Temple. There are several Sacred Tanks or Pushkarani and the Skanda Theertham and Marudha Theertham are noteworthy among them.
