Thirumayam is a remarkable heritage destination in Pudukkottai district, best known for the grand Thirumayam Fort and the ancient Sathyamurthi Perumal Temple located at the foot of the hill. While the fort, built in 1687 by Vijaya Raghunatha Sethupathi, reflects the military history of the region, the rock-cut Perumal temple, believed to date to the 9th century and honoured as one of the 108 Divya Desams, adds deep spiritual and architectural significance to the site.
