Suruli falls, is located 56 km (35 mi) from Theni and 10 km (6.2 mi) from Cumbum in the Theni District in Tamil Nadu, India. It is a 2 stage Cascading water fall. The Suruli River supplying the falls originates from the Meghamalai mountain range. The falls drop from a height of 150 feet (46 m) gathers into a pool, flows for a short distance and again plummets an additional 40 feet (12 m).

The beauty of this falls finds mention in the ancient Tamil literature, Silappathikaram written by the poet Ilango Adigal. Near Suruli Falls are five caves which represent 11th century Indian rock-cut architecture.The Suruli river's water is considered medicinal and curative.

Suruli hills is the part of the Pothigai Malai. Pothigai hills is a highly divine and spiritual center. There is a story that when Shiva and Parvati entered into divine matrimony at Mount Kailash in the north, the place was unbalanced because of the multitude of holy beings witnessing the wedding. Lord Shiva asked Agastya Maharishi to proceed to southern India to balance the world. Agastya Maharishi then proceeded to Pothigai hills and balanced the world. Agastya Maharishi was able to visualise the wedding of Lord Shiva and Parvati on a Shivalingam that was at Tiru Kalyana Teertham at Pothigai hills. These hills are visited by several saints and sages from Himalayas particularly on a full moon day. The striking similarity between the profiles of Mount Kailash and Agasthyamalai strengthen the mythological connections of these sacred peaks.

While Swami Arulananda was at Pothigai hills, he often visited Subramania Swami temple in Tiruchendur. In 1981, on Thaipusam day (Full moon day in January), Agastya Maharishi appeared in Swamiji’s dream and asked him to proceed to Suruli Aandavar temple (Subramania Swami temple) at Suruli hills to practice Tapas. In this place, Subramania manifests as Suruli Aandavar.

Suruli Velappar Temple in praise of Kartikeya is located near the falls. This temple is shaped like an OM Pranava. OM is the source mantra of the universal. This Mantra was generated before the Earth and all planets were created. At this cave one can hear the OM Mantra when you are in meditation frequency. This statement was told by Omgara guru Sidhar Gunaneethy, who is the founder of Rishi's Meditation.

800 m (2,600 ft) above the fall is the Kailasanathar Cave Temple. At Kailasanathar cave many Sidhars meditate at a natural spring with waters having medicinal powers. Now, many Meykanda Devar's souls are there. Kailasanathar cave is connected with the Sathura Giri Mahalingam Kovil Cave. The Palani temple Murugan statue was built by Bogar with Navapasana (a unique medicine made from nine poisons). The bogar installed the statue before he came to Kailasnathar temple. Here he took many Herbals and constructed the Murugan's Navapasana Statue.

The Syed Sadai Masthan and Buhari Shaib Dargah at Suruli is an important worship place for Muslims. Syed Sadai Masthan cave is placed at opposite hills top side. Now, the forest Department is not given permission to worship there. Every 14 April Muslim people gather the Buhari Sahib Dhargah which placed at entrance of Suruli Falls. Both saints came to India to spread Islam in the Western Ghats area of Sivagiri and Suruli Falls.
