Viralimalai
is a small town situated at a distance of 30-kms from Tiruchirapalli and 40-kms
from Pudukkottai. It is famous for its Murugan temple and the Peacock sanctuary.
The town is bestowed with a large number of wild peacocks, which roam around the
Murugan temple.
Fauna

The sanctuary is one of the best places to watch peacocks. There are at least
six species of peacock pheasants distributed throughout South East Asia, though
the Palawan Peacock Pheasant or "Tandikan" (Polyplectron Emphanum) is
by far the most spectacularly coloured of these beautiful birds.
