ReplyDeleteNo vehicle access,you need to climb the steps
DeleteDear Kulal,
DeleteMay I know how many stair case around?
There are about 60 steps slughtly steep but can be climbed with effort by even people having knee pains. The temple is clean n quiet. You can ekantha darshan on week days.
ReplyDeleteThere is a road from the side of the temple through which we can drive our vehicles to the top of the hill. This will directly take us to the Shanmuga temple.
ReplyDeleteWill Thaipusam be celebrated at the temple on 25 Jan 2024?
