Ayyappan Temple is a Hindu Ayyappan Temple located in Siddhapudur in Coimbatore, India. It is dedicated to Ayyappan.

Presiding deity

The presiding deity is known as Manikandan. As per the Kerala style, shrines of Ganesha, Bhagavati, Siva, Guruvayurappan and Muruga are found. The shrine of Navagraha is also found here.
