Malai Mahadeshwara Hills is a temple town situated
in the eastern part of Kollegal taluk, Chamarajnagar district. The Lord Sri Mahadeshwara's miracles are beautifully sung by
village folk in the janapada style.
According to tradition there are seven hills
identified in the puranas as Anumale, Jenumale, Kanumale, Pachchemale, Pavalamale, Ponnachimale and Kongumale. All these hills
form M.M. hills.
About 600 years ago, Sri Mahadeshwara Swamy
came here to perform penance and it is believed that he is still performing penance in the temple's Garbha gudi in the form
of Linga.
The View of the surrounding hills from the top is breathtaking.
