Kailasanathar Temple Cave, Theni

The Kailasanathar Temple Cave is situated near the Suruli Falls. The Temple cave stands at an elevation of 800 m above the sea level. In the Tamil epic Silappathikaram it is said that festivals were conducted in the Kailasanathar Temple Cave during Aadi, Thai and Chithtirai. The temple has a natural spring that is considered to have medicinal properties.

In close vicinity to the temple cave is a Dargah named after the 17th century Muslim Saint Abubacker Masthan. On Saturdays, devotees carry pots of milk to this temple.
