The first six hills from the ground are said to be the six Chakras in human body viz. Mooladara, Swadishtana, Manipooraka, Anakatha, Vishuddhi and Agnga.  The seventh, the abode of Lord Shiva, is the Sahasrara visible to the wise.  It is also known as Shiva Jyothi Dance Hill.
Lord Panchalingesa and his Consort Manonmani (Lordess of Mind)Amman alias Parvathi are five faces of Lord Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Maheshwara and Sadasiva, are seen as Panchagiri and as Panchalingas pertaining to the panchabhutas, in Velliangiri.

Lord Brahmma was here worshipping Lord Shiva praised as Patti Muni in Perur. Sage Kalaba, son of Sage Kashyapa also was here with Brahmma worshipping the Lord with a bath in the Noyyal River. Pleased with their worship, Lord Shiva took them to Velli Mandram and granted His cosmic dance darshan with Mother Uma. That spot is the Swamigiri Malai at the seventh hill.

Ramayana Mahabharata
  1. Mother Sita performed penance on Lord Shiva at the fifth hill.
  2. Lord Shiva appeared as a hunter before Arjuna, fought with him as a play and granted him the Pasupatha weapon. 

Trek Path

The first and the seventh hill are difficult to tread. Kaithatti Chunai is at the second hill and the Pambatti Chunai is at the third where devotees can quench their thirst.  Passing over the fourth, the fifth is praised as Thiruneermalai containing a kind of sand as the sacred ash.  The Andi Chunai in the sixth hill is praised as the Manasa Sarover of the South Kailash.  People proceed further after a bath here.  The seventh hill though appear easier at a look is indeed very steep to trek.  There are two rocks on either of the shrine here as Dwarapalakas to Lord Shiva in the 6 feet wide cave in the form of Panchalingas.

Mahimna

"Anyone who recites this hymn with a pure heart and devotion will be blessed with 

  1. fame (कीर्ति), 
  2. wealth (धन), 
  3. long life (आयु) and 
  4. many children (सुत) in this mortal world, and will attain Kailas (Shiva's abode) after death. 
Benefit of singing Shivmahimna stotra is far greater than either the benefit of 

  1. spiritual initiation (दीक्षा), 
  2. charity (दान), 
  3. austerity (तप), 
  4. pilgrimage (तीर्थ), 
  5. knowledge of the scriptures (ज्ञान), or 
  6. the performance of ceremonial sacrifice (यज्ञ-याग)."
