  Must visit before heading to other temples.

  Awesome view from the top, especially the Garudas were circling the temple. It is tough to climb the stairs, but it is fulfilling to do so.

  My Native Identity

  I was born in Trichy. It is an interesting place which is covered by famous river water like kaveri and kollidam on all sides. Its like a small island. There are many historic temples here and rockfort temple is one among them. It will be very fun to climb and visit the temple top. You can get a whole city view from the top. Happy Devotional Trekking ..:)

  Rockfort Temple Trichy Tamil Nadu India

  An amazing location inTrichy Tamil Nadu. The Rockfort Temple also known as Ucchi Pillayar Temple was built around the 7th Century & dedicated to Lord Ganesha. Perched on an old rockcrop 83 meters above the plains of Trichy, it can be seen anywhere on the plain in 360 degrees but the view from this temple outcrop is something to behold. Access to the top is through a series of uneven steep rockcut steps with several niches & cave enclaves dedicated to several gods & goddesses. I have attached 2 pictures I have taken, one of the Rockfort from the tepakolam (big water tank ) at the base and one at the top of the rockfort overlooking the plains of Trichy(evening shot). An enchanting location and a must see when in Trichy Tamil Nadu India.

  Breathtaking view of Trichy town from center of Trichy

  This temple offers magnificent view of the entire town from center. It is a like a tall sky scraper in the middle of the town. The steps to the temple is around 300 and you have Thayumanavar temple on the way to the rock fort temple. There is a bell tower at the top of the rock. There are also Pallava period rock cut temples at the top. From Uchipillaiyar temple, we get great view of the town, Cauvery river, Srirangam temple tower etc. Thayumanavar temple on the way itself is a huge temple. Thayumanavar temple is a architectural wonder. It is having rock cut chains. Thayumanavar linga is a huge linga. Mattuvar Kuzhal Ammai is the presiding deity. Overall very good temple to visit, if you dont mind climbing the steps.
