The temple is located in Gobichettipalayam, a quiet town in the Erode district. Gobi, as it
is shortly called, has two hill temples - Pachaimalai and Pavalamalai. This is considered
to be a great reason to justify the town's ethics. Pachaimalai is also colloquially
pronounced as 'Pachamalai'.

Arulmigu Balamurugan, the child god, son of Shiva Parvathi, the god of army, the teacher
of all, finds his place in this scenic hill temple. The Lord appears in a very beautiful form
and it is very difficult to take one's eye off.

The Poojai activities at Pachaimalai are renowned. The 'ArthaJama' poojai resembles the
one at Palani. Arulmigu Balamurugan takes the simplest form with white clothes sans his
ornamental jewels. This is the most peaceful scene, one can ever get in his life.

Though the temple is old, the structure has been built starting 1967. The most recent
'Swarna Bandhana Kumbabishekam' was held in June 2006.

Other deities residing in the temple are Vidya Ganapathi (form of common sense, quick
wit and knowledge), Maragadha Venkatesa Perumal, Maragatheeswarar, Maragatha Valli,
Guru Dhakshinamurthy, Kalyana Subramanyar, Anjaneyar, Navagraham and Kala
Bhairavar. Urchava Murthys are Dhandayudhapani, Shanmugar, Subramanyar, Pradhosha
Moorthy and Aiyappar. Golden Chariot and Golden Peacock mount have been donated by
the public to the Almighty. A wooden chariot runs around the hill during Panguni Uthiram
Chariot festival.

The temple is renowned for the 'Vaasthu' poojai where people bring the first brick to perform
poojai at the Sannidhanam. Devotees begin their penance of 'Ayyappa Maalai' in Karthigai
month.Couples who are in need of children perform their Sashti fasting here. It is a belief that
the couple in fasting at Pachaimalai would get a child. Anyone who is not married pray
'Kalyana' Subramanyar and Guru Dakshinamurthy for their requests to be answered.
