Ner Annamalai Temple

Ner Annamalai Temple stands near its older counterpart, Adi Annamalai Temple, along the Girivalam path, and together the two shrines represent some of the earliest centers of Shiva worship in Tiruvannamalai before the main Annamalaiyar Temple rose to prominence. The temple's modest stone structure and quiet setting offer a contrast to the grandeur of the central temple complex, appealing to pilgrims interested in the town's layered religious history. Devotees walking the hill circuit often visit both Annamalai shrines together as a single devotional stop.
