Getting
Around
Town buses ply between the temple and the bus stand from early
morning untill late at night. Cycling is a good way of getting around
town and out to Dhanushkodi. You may rent a bike.
Tiruchendur
On the coast south of
Tuticorin,
this impressive shore temple is one of the six abodes of Lord Murugan
and is very popular with pilgrims. You may be able to enter the inner
sanctrums here and watch the enthusiastic proceedings. Be careful if
they offer you a gulp of the holy water- pouring it over your
hands and rubbing them together joyously is an acceptable substitute for
drinking it !
Perumal Temple
This ancient temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. 55 km away from the
city and is commonly visited by Vaishnavites.
