Suruli hills is the part of the Pothigai Malai. Pothigai hills is a highly divine and spiritual center. There is a story that when Shiva and Parvati entered into divine matrimony at Mount Kailash in the north, the place was unbalanced because of the large number of holy beings witnessing the wedding. Lord Shiva asked Agastya Maharishi
to proceed to the South of India to balance the world. Agastya
Maharishi then proceeded to Pothigai hills and balanced the world.
Agastya Maharishi was able to visualise the wedding of Lord Shiva and
Parvati on a Shivalingam that was at Tiru Kalyana Teertham at Pothigai
hills. These hills are visited by several saints and sages from
Himalayas particularly on a full moon day. The striking similarity
between the profiles of Mt. Kailash and Agasthyamalai strengthen the
mythological connections of these sacred peaks.
