One of most wanted to visit place of my life time, Really cool to see our ancestors work. Admired by the innovative idea ans skill. Felt so happy to be there. Must visit place, checkout the lord Murugan temple, which was a really fine sculpture work. Felt a good vibe in the Goddess temple located.

Magnificent and amazing temple structure. Historical monument and a UNESCO world heritage site.
The sheer magnitude and scale is breathtaking to say the least. Be prepared to spend at least one and a half to two hours to comfortably walk around and enjoy the visit. During summer, better to avoid bright sunny hours of the day as walking barefoot on granite floor is a very distressing experience.
Reasonably well maintained (ASI) and the landscaped area and lawn in front is very beautiful.

One of the most spectacular temples of Southern India. The temple premise is so huge that one should spend time to appreciate its beauty and architecture. The shrine is the largest amongst all the temples of the southern India and houses the largest Shiva linga in India. One must visit this grand temple once in their life time.Truly an architectural wonder! 2 eyes won't be enough to admire the temple's beauty! The level of minute detailing with perfection in each and every frame gives such an artistic view. Worthy to spend a few hours in this place alone.

Spend a lot of time to view and admire the detailing in the main temple, both inside and out. Neatly maintained premises. A must visit for everyone and can be visited any number of times!

The best way to see how good your ancestors were!!
What an amazing place

You can park your car in designated parking area and walk through either east gate or north entrance .. very big temple and you need about 60-90 min to visit this place. Better to do enough history research before coming here .. expect rush for Darsan. We visited around 11AM and there was heavy rush as well as sun was at its peak ! But manageable

A must visit place in India
