ChathuraGiri is a sivan malai located in Tamil nadu, India. It is very mysterious place where the siddhars are believed to do poojas to the lord sundara mahalingam and santhana mahalingam in the hill.
Chathuragiri otherwise known as Sivanmalai is situated 5 kms from Watrap (Vathirairuppu) near Srivilliputhur. The name Chathuragiri came from Chathur (4) Veda (Vedas) Giri (Hill), where all the four Vedas met and formed the hill. Another meaning is that the whole mountain is in square (Chathuram) in shape so the name Chathuragiri.
