Karuppasamy. Of these, Paechi Amma and Karuppasamy were installed by Siddhars for guarding the southern side of the Hill.

On the way to Sathuragiri (after foothills till Sundara Mahalingam): there are

Two sanctums of Sivalingams inside two separate caves at Kora Kunda (Gorakkar Cave), Two Lingams in a single sanctum called “Irattai Lingam” or Sankaran Narayan Lingams, Vana Durgai Amma temple, and Pilavadi Karuppasamy temple.

Pilavadi Karuppasamy & Kali, are the guardian of the Sathuragiri Hills.  Vana Durgai Amma is the guardian of Sundaramahalingam temple. They safeguard the area from evil forces. The pradistai of these three guardian angels/gods were done by the Siddhas of Sathuragiri hill.
