Plan your darshan
Beat the Saturday queues
Saturdays are the busiest day, with queues that can last hours. The temple opens at 5:00 am on Saturdays, so stay the night before and join the queue early. On other days it is usually open from 6:00 am to 12:30 pm and from 4:00 pm to 8:30 pm. Timings change on festival days.
Rest and eat
Come back, freshen up, eat well
Many devotees bathe in Nala Theertham before darshan. Come back to a hot shower in your room, a South Indian breakfast at Crave on the CP plan, and a quiet garden to rest in. Check-in is at 2 pm and check-out at 12 noon; ask us about early check-in or late check-out, subject to availability.
Book early
Rooms fill fast on big days
Sani Peyarchi, Saturn's transit roughly every two and a half years, brings the largest crowds to Thirunallar, and rooms nearby fill up early. The most recent was on 6 March 2026. Book direct for our best rate, or WhatsApp us for family and group bookings.
