pilgrimage destination, the city is famous for its great <strong>temple of Annamalaiyar<\/strong> dating back to the IX<sup>th <\/sup>century AD and devoted to <strong>Shiva.<\/strong> The city is also well known for <strong>the legendary sacred hill of Arunachala<\/strong>, which is a holy place, as well as for the presence of the <strong>ashram of Sri Ramana Maharshi,<\/strong> considered as one of the most illustrious wise men and Indian mystics of the XX<sup>th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The temple is one of the largest in India with a surface area of 10 hectares. It is surrounded by a wall, ornamented by four colossal towers (known as <strong>Gopuram<\/strong>) used as the entrance of the sanctuary, and decorated by thousands of sculptures painted rich in colours. The Gopuram have a distinctive architecture dating back to the <strong>Chola period in the IXth century<\/strong>. The Eastern Gopura is one of the largest in India; it is 66 meters tall. The room of a thousand pillars is magnificent. The temple is full of life, six rituals are held daily from 5h30 to 10h, there are twelve yearly festivals of which the most famous is the Karthikai Deepam held on the day of full moon between the months of November and December. More than three million pilgrims are present during the celebration. At the top of the<strong> hill of Arunachala,<\/strong> there is a giant fire, visible over several kilometres, held in the honour of<strong> Shiva.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The sacred hill of Arunachala,<\/strong> also called <strong>Arunagiri, Annamalai Hill,<\/strong> is one of the five holy shiva\u00eft places of South India. Some believe <strong>Shiva<\/strong> manifested himself there as a pillar of light. Many Saints and wise men have established themselves on the hill or in the caves, such as <strong>Sri Ramana Maharshi<\/strong> who lived there from 1899 to 1916.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cArunachala is really a holy place. Of all holy places, Arunachala is the holiest. It is the Heart of the world. It is Shiva itself. It is the secret and holy heart of Shiva. In this place, it resides forever under the form of the glorious Arunachala Mount.\u201d Extract from: Sri Arunachala Mahatmyam \u2013 Skanda Purana.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
