Arulmigu Annamalaiyar Temple - Tiruvannamalai District, Tamil Nadu, India - Hindu temple in Tiruvannamalai, Annamalai R.F. - Tiruvannamalai, India

I can surely assure that this place had a amazing environment in inside the temple and you can witness 9 gopura's and they will look amazing to watch and also so many of us carry lot of emotions with full of devotion to pray the god. so we need the environment should be pleasant and neat but out side of the temple people are forgetting that this place is carrying so much of history and also become the landmark of holy place but outside of the temple there is no hygiene and people are ruined it's surroundings apart from this you will definitely feel stunned with infrastructure and devotees

One of the Oldest temples and big temples of Lord Shiva. The big Gali Gopuram of four sides will make you aww! Beautiful trees and surroundings of temple will make you peaceful. Neatly maintaining. Feeling blessed to have darshan During this Karthika Madam Om Namah Shivaya

Beautiful & majestic temple of lord shiva against the backdrop of the hill! Worth visiting. However crowd management is not up to the mark as people are breaking the queue. Also with rainfall there was gushing water mixed with sewage water through the temple. Temple administrators should look into this & try to maintain cleanliness .

The place is quiet wonderful. The massive scale of this temple complex is jaw dropping. It can't be explained in words rather need to experience. The area on which it is spread it's huge. The amenities here such as prasadam, washroom were neat and clean and well maintained for devotees. Definitely recommended.

I visited this temple on some ekadashi. So there was heavy crowd. So I waited for 6 hours to enter temple. I thought I would faint out. And after entering half temple they charged 50 rupees for entrance ticket. I don't know why. I thought it's free darshan. I ate no tiffin or drank single drop of water in the morning before visiting this temple. And rooms , lodges surrounding this temple were all full. They were asking 3 days package which was 15000 rupees. People also do giri pradakshina here around the mountain. So they do it for 3 days. So that's why rooms , lodges say it's 3 days package. So please I suggest people not to visit this temple on ekadashi Karthika pournami or any other Shiva festivals. You will definitely not get room and also get tired if you are old aged person. Otherwise bring water bottle with you. They allowed mobiles inside temple. But no photography allowed inside temple. It was raining when i visited this temple. So I could not take photos of myself more. So it's better to visit this temple in summer season without having any of Shiva festivals. So darshan will be easy. And the fog in the morning on the mountain was awesome. Visit in the early morning. You will get beautiful photos. There will be 4 big gopuras surrounding this gopura where arunachaleshwarar linga is located at the center of 4 gopuras. Jeans , shirts etc all type of clothes are allowed inside temple. No objections for dress. And it's difficult to get lodge or room for single person here. I walked for 1 hour to get a single room for me. Every one was saying 2000 rupees for 1 room. I don't know why. Atlast I got room for 1400 rupees. That too very worst room.

This is one of the best Shiva temple in Tamilnadu. It's a very good holy place. Also it's best time to visit during the festival time we're the temple is completely decorated by lights

Very powerful holy place. Being tune Spiritually I felt a very hard connection entering the main temple. One of the oldest temple of Lord Shiva and quite a lot of people visit on daily base. Parking is a bit difficult.

The Arulmigu Arunachaleswarar Temple is a beautiful and sacred place. The temple grounds are well-maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful. The only downside is the queue system, which can be very long and chaotic. I visited the temple during the off-season and still had to wait in line for over an hour to get to the main shrine. The queue is not well-organized and people were constantly cutting in line. It was also very hot and humid, which made the wait even more unbearable. Once I finally got inside the temple, it was a much more pleasant experience. The main shrine is very impressive and the atmosphere is very peaceful. I also enjoyed visiting the other temples and shrines on the grounds. Overall, I would recommend visiting the Arulmigu Arunachaleswarar Temple, but be prepared for a long wait in line. If you are visiting during the peak season, I would suggest booking a VIP darshan in advance to avoid the queues. Tips for visiting: * Wear comfortable clothing, as you will be doing a lot of walking. * Bring a water bottle and sunscreen, especially if you are visiting during the summer months. * Be prepared for a long wait in line, especially if you are visiting during the peak season. * If you are visiting during the peak season, consider booking a VIP darshan in advance to avoid the queues. * Be respectful of the Hindu religion and customs. Additional note: I would like to emphasize that the queue system is the only major downside of this temple. Everything else was excellent, including the beauty of the temple, the friendliness of the staff, and the overall atmosphere. I would still recommend visiting this temple to everyone, but just be prepared for a long wait in line.
