Shevaroy Temple

This is the highest point in Yercaud, situated at a height of 5326 feet. Hence this area is called the Shevaroy hills.

This temple is situated atop Servaroyan hill. It is very important place of worship for tribal people living in these hills. They celebrate an annual festival every year.  The temple itself is a narrow and dark cave and seated inside are the god Servarayan and the goddess Kaveri representing the Shervaroy Hills and the Kaveri River. The local people believe that the god Servarayan is the guardian angel for the 67 villages in and around Yercaud. It is believed that the temple's cave is so deep it touches the Cauvery river. The local tribes celebrate their annual festival in this temple during the month of May.
