Sri Ayyappan Temple

Reviewed By yesveesbi - Hyderabad District, India

I came to know about this temple when i was staying at SBI GH,Campeon Road. The temple is in walkable distance. Beautiful temple who follow traditions. Very serene surroundings with a lot of mooligai trees enabling us to breathe happily. Even as we enter the temple two sombu kudams containing tulasi water is placed. The water tastes divine. Actually i visited this temple in December 2018 just about one month before my retirement. Must visit place in Trichi

Reviewed By Selvakummar

Always crowded, next to Tirupathi, again because of better crowd management, Dharshan is peaceful..Better avoid holiday and Sabarimala season to have more time to see the god.. Don't missing ramanujam 1000 pillar hall, beauty of main gopuram and coffee just outside of the main gopuram

Chettinad

Reviewed By BharathiMani - Bengaluru, India

Not quite sure why Chettinad features here. The Chettinad mansions are mind blowing phenomenal. Their facades are imposing. We were lucky to be invited by a Chettiar couple to see their house while exploring the facades. The scale of the house cannot be described. The Burma teak and tiles from UK were exquisite. The courtyards will leave you spell bound. Do drive around the villages of Athangudi and Kanadukathan.

Jambukeswarar Temple

Reviewed By gpadmana

What struck me was that from the first entrance, one could almost see through to the sanctum sanctorum. And it was a beautiful view. The temple is also knows as Thriuvanakovil. Better to go in the evening at around 6, spend a couple of hours. Would be cooler than the mornings. The temple is clean and has 3 praharams. The pillars, art are amazing. The main diety is in a sort of cave. Buy a ticket for Rs. 10 to see the deity from closer quarters. Prasadams like Puliyogare are available. Parking is there on the surrounding streets. If you are visiting Srirangam, do visit this temple.

In front of the temple a beautiful pond called Sakti Theertham is found. This is believed to have been created by the Sakthivel of Lord Muruga.
