Kailasagiri Hill is a part of the Eastern Ghats which originates at Vizag and ends at Doddabedda near Niligiries. Kailasagiri has a range of hills and innumerable herbs have spread all over the hill. Sick persons afflicted with incurable diseases come here, get cured and recover completely. people who have lung diseases will be cured almost instantly by walking to top of the hill through steps.

Age old devotees believe that Sri Achudhananda swamy received initiation from Sri Nijananda swamy in this holy Hill. Later Sri Achudhananda swamy attained Nirvikalpasamadhi and he remained in the divine conscious state for several years. Later he inspired many souls and kindled the fire of divinity in the minds of a number of devotees and initiated many ardent souls who have got burning desire for reaching GOD, which is the ultimate goal of every human being.

From history long back there was a Sivan temple and a seven ponds on top of the hill. The main ponds are Theppa Kulam (Thamarai Kulam) and Green (Pachai) Kulam , Surya Kulam (Pond) and Yaanai (Elephant) Kulam. Kulam means POND. The Mughal rulers demolished the temple and threw everything in the pond. Much later that is around 200 years back, this Murugan (Kartik) temple was built during the Britishers period. Right next to the temple, there is a small cave and some Muslim ruler was used this cave to fight with British. And it is very nice to see.

This temple is majestically situated at 600 feet above ground level, adding top the beauty and charisma of the entire region. Local people and devotees narrate many instances of miracles that have taken place in the lives of the people who visited this shrine.

One devotee from “Kulalar” community who was not blessed with a child for many years, under took pilgrimage to many holy shrines, and at last when they later visited Lord Muruga of Kailasagiri Hill, he totally surrendered himself at the feet of the Lord Muruga. Later Lord Muruga blessed him with a child.

Once a labour from Pernambut who was dumb and paralytically attacked, visited this temple, and he was blessed with complete recovery. One Sevarathee from Mitalam who was dumb for years together resumed speaking when he visited Lord Muruga of this temple.

It is further said that during 1942 one saint visited this hill temple and during meditation, he realized the fact that this hill is blessed with the presence of a number of Siddars. he advised the devotees to celebrate “Adi Kiruthigai” festival to receive blessings from Lord Muruga. From that day on-wards more than 3,000 kavadies are being taken by ardent devotees and human hair donations are also given by more than 10,000 people every year. Such is the importance and greatness of this temple.

Each  KARTIK of the month 100’s of devotees visit to the temple and get blessing of God. Among this Aadi Kiruthigai (Aadi Kirtik) is the most popular and more than 3,00,000  pilgrims visit to this temple on this day each year.Other popular Kirtik (Kiruthigai) days are Karthigai deepam and Thai Kiruthigai.

Just near the Nager Peedam there is one dilapidated small temple structure in which Saptha Kannigal are the presiding deities. This is supposed to be one of the scared spots in this hill. Taking into account of these facts the Kailasagiri Hill is rightly venerated as nuclear center of spiritual power.

The eastern part of the hill belongs to the State forest department but “Kailasagiri Hill” belongs to Arulmigu Subramania Swamy kovil and it is being run by hereditary trustees.
