The
Ner Annamalaiyar Lingam Shrine and Mandapam is located on the Arunachala
girivalam roadway in an exact axial line opposite to Arunachaleswarar Temple on
the other side of the Hill.
The
early morning sun on Tamil New Year i.e. April 14 first falls directly onto the
Lingam in this Shrine. This phenomenon can only be viewed on this day.
Traditionally each year on the day, large crowds gather at this Temple for
this special Surya darshan.
