Of the main caves here, the first, right near the basement is Valluvar Kottam' (Art Gallery Cave & Museum Cave) where you can see many fascinating mural paintings and statues of Hindu Gods; not to mention that of a five-legged-bull'. In this cave Lord Subramaniya's story, from birth to marriage and subsequent slaying of demon, is pictorially narrated thru murals.

Another cave located near the hill-wall leading to Subramaniya temple-stairs is the Ramayana Cave', guarded by a big statue of Hanuman (the monkey god, a staunch devotee of Lord Rama).

Then starts the long climb of 272 steps towards the biggest cave of the lot . which contains the Lord Subramaniya shrine. When you reach half way; the entrance to the dark cave' can be seen a marvel of natural architectural brilliance! As the name implies, it is a long gloomy tunnel-like cave infested by bats.
