Temples
Dear Theertha Yatris,
I am honored to present a comprehensive traveler's guide covering significant temples in and around Kumbakonam, including the Navagraha temples. This initiative stems from the numerous requests I received from my friends in Karnataka seeking assistance with itineraries and details of temples for fixed no of days available for the tour.
Recognizing that this need extends to anyone embarking on a theertha yatra, I find myself uniquely positioned as a person born near Kumbakonam, and well-acquainted with the area due to my schooling there. I trust that this compiled guide will be a valuable resource for you and encourage you to share it with friends and family.
My primary objective is to facilitate a hassle-free and enjoyable temple tour for all. The guide includes concise information on the temples' history, legends, names, and main deities, as well as a suggested tour itinerary.
The itinerary covers only temples less than 20km radius of Kumbakonam (except few Navagraha temples), though, I have provided few other important temples near Kumbakonam, Tanjore and Trichy. It will help plan some more trips.
I am giving a downloadable option of the book as well. Please register with your email and a link will be shared to download.
Happy Yatra!
