	'''Thirucharanathumalai''' is a hillock located in [[Chitharal]] village 6 km from [[Marthandam]], and 55 km from [[Kanyakumari (town)\|Kanyakumari]]. On the top of the hill under a path that seems naturally hanging there in a temple with [[~~Mandapa\|mandapam~~]], corridor and balipeetam with a madappalli (kitchen). There are 3 sanctums housing [[Mahavira]], Parswanatha and Padmavathi Devi. The idol of Bagavathi was installed instead of Padmavathi Devi by [[Sri Moolam Thirunal]], king of [[Travancore]] in 1913. Above the hanging path, there is a dilapidated tower on a rock on the northern side. [[Bas-relief]] sculptures of all the 24 [[Tirthankaras]] are found. Some inscriptions belonging to the 9th century are also found here. It was a [[Jain]] training centre for both males and females in those days.
