Servaraya Perumal is the guardian of the Shevaroys, and his temple is no grand monument filled with amazing sculptures. The steep mountain road to the highest point of the Shevaroys makes for a very enjoyable drive. The temple is on a flat hilltop. A modern outer façade leads to the entrance of the cave. Here you have to stoop to enter and bend down for a few feet into the cave. The cave is wider inside and you can stand up straight. This is where you see the idols of Servaraya Perumal and Kaveri Amman on a rocky platform.

The goddess is Kaveri Amman, the goddess of river Kaveri is worshipped at this highest point of the Shevaroy hills. The idols of Servaraya Perumal and Kaveri Amman are small -11/2 feet tall but adorable. Servaraya Perumal holds the conch and discus in his hands while goddess Kaveri holds a lotus flower in her hand. The roof above the deities is moist and drops of water fall at intervals on the idols. This flow of water dries up during the dry summer months.

In the dark recess behind the god and goddess the cave goes on. Visitors are not permitted to go beyond this point. A story is told by the local tribal people that the cave goes all the way to Thalakaveri in the state of Karnataka, which is the origin of the Kaveri River. No one knows for sure, but it is a tale that has been told for generations. Surely there must be a reason why there is a temple for goddess Kaveri at these heights but it is a reason that has been lost to us, lost in the mists of time.
