This ancient hill temple to Lord Murugan sits on the outskirts of Tiruppur town and is believed to be around 1,200 years old, linked by tradition to Kongana Siddhar, one of the eighteen Tamil Siddhars. It is regarded as a Thevara Vaippu Sthalam referenced in Appar's hymns, and the poet-saint Arunagirinathar is said to have sung Thiruppugazh here. The presiding deity is worshipped as Thapas Kumaraswamy with consorts Valli and Deivanai, and the temple has a notable Navagraha shrine.
This is the central and largest of the 'Dasa Anjaneyar' (ten Hanuman) shrines around Dharapuram, installed by Saint Vyasaraja Theertha, Rajaguru of the Vijayanagara emperor Krishnadevaraya. The Hanuman deity stands about 7.25 feet tall, and the temple ceiling has an opening directly above the idol so that sun and rain fall on it. It is the most popular of the Dharapuram Anjaneyar temples and the connecting point of the local pilgrimage circuit.
The principal temple at the centre of Kundadam, just off the Palladam-Dharapuram road.

The east-facing temple has a three-tier rajagopuram, a temple tank with a Neerazhi mandapam, and a noted Kala Bhairavar shrine.
