Thirumalai kovil, a Murugan temple known as Dakshina Palani, is a favorite place for believers and tourists. This temple, built of stones, is located on a hillock adjacent to the Western Ghats in Sengottai Panpoli. The age of Thirumalai kovil is estimated to be over 600 years. The temple records state that it was Sivagami Ammaiyar who completed the construction of Thirumalai kovil. It is also said that the first parts of the temple were built by the Pandalam king. Lord Murugan is famous here as 'Kumaraswamy'.

Allu Arjun's Pushpa movie has been shot here. The song 'Kondattam' in the movie 'Thudarum' also mentions Thirumalai Murugan.
