Arulmigu Sri Baladandayudhapani Murugan Koil

Very quiet and peaceful, well maintained and clean temple.
The pujari ji will tell you all about Lord Kartikeya and will explain in detail about the small temples in the compound and the large idol.
The views from the top are amazing as well.
This is however situated on a height so it is advisable to go by a car or a taxi, although auto can reach there with some effort as well.
Very highly recommended.

Surprised to find this beautiful hill temple that too within the Ooty City limits. At a height of almost 7500 feet above sea level, this temple is built adjacent to a rock hill which adds to the beauty and one has to climb few steps to enter the temple. Outside the temple is a big statue (approx 40 feet) of Lord Murugan (Karthikeyan) which reminds us of famous Batu Cave Temple in Malaysia. Visit this place early morning and enjoy the peaceful surroundings till the time temple is opened. The roads nearing the temple are not so good, hence be careful while driving. One of the lesser known places in Ooty and hence clean and well maintained.

This temple is located on the inner most residential areas of Elk hill.. where it is surrounded by long trees and lush greeneries. This spot is just a pure bliss to have family time together, with all the peaceful and calming environment around us and the cool breeze makes us stress-free and relaxes our mind.
An important point about this place is, the huge Lord Muruga statue like we see in Malaysian temple, and it’s absolutely one of the rare places where such statue can be seen in India.

Don’t forget to visit this temple if you’re making a trip to Ooty
