Arulmigu Karkuvel Ayyanar Temple - Hindu temple in Kuthiraimozhi - Tuticorin, India

This is our family god. Ancient and powerful temple. Temple was located in Theri kudiyiruppu near Kaya mozhi Tiruchendur. 14 km away from tiruchendur. Here nativity is red sand which was most beautiful. Lot of cashiew trees are available. Lot of tamarind trees are there. Temple is having all basic amenities. Having lot of space for cooking non veg. For pongal preparation separate ancient type kitchen setup is available. This temple is always close to our heart temple. Annadhaanam also available by 12pm. Drinking water facility available inside temple but only for drinking not for cooking. Open water tank available for gents bathing and closed room available for ladies bathing. But temperature is very high however wind flow below trees will forget about these temperatures. Climbing on trees is best part for kids entertainment. Those who have bringing play items can enjoy most. One full day you can spend here. Lot of space available for vehicle parking. Drawbacks Now a days drunkers are also enjoying this place. Need to control it. Most of the Poosari's openly asking amount which is some what uncomfortable. They are not forcing us but it may disturb most of us. Rest room facilities need to improve for both gents and ladies. This temple atmosphere can keep ourself forget of all above drawbacks

Small but clean temple with all necessary stuffs, red sand dunes at backyard of temple is awesome. Only small hiccup is distance from main road, bus (not frequent) and autos from main roads can be availed to reach temple.

You can visit red sand dessert. You can see desert in Tamilnadu. This is the shooting spot for many Kollywood tamil films like Asuran, Thamarabharani etc

#calm environment #attractive due the presence of red sand and reddish environment #drinking and restroom facilities available but not maintained #shops are also less inside

Arulmigu Karkuvel Ayyanar Temple has been a place where we have most of the purvakudis and kula deviams available under the same temple. The temple ia located little inside the main road in therikudirupu. The place has all the facility maintained well so big thanks to the people involved in management of the temple. I have our kula deivam periya andavar in the same premises. The place is located in a nice quiet place. And placed is maintained well and clean. The parking facility also available here. The temple is near the famous red desert sand kind of the land. The mulavar ayyanar dharshan gives peace of mind whenever I come here.

This temple is located amidst an island(not literally) of red sand. You can reach this place either via Thiruchendur or Tirunelveli. Roads are pretty bad to non-existent on both the routes. If you are planning to visit the temple on a tight schedule, you need to add an hour more to what's given in Google Maps, cause the roads are that bad. Temple is clean and neatly maintained, you have small shops outside to buy some snacks, tender coconut and toys for kids. Temple is open from early morning till 5.30 in the evening. At 1.00 in the noon they offer a Pooja during which devotees are not allowed. Dont miss to check the red sand dunes.

Kovil poosaris are too bad and begging for money , hope the temple treasury will paying monthly salary to them and request temple management to control this kind of activities. As well as too much poosaries are available in the temple, request to reduce poosaries manpower, instead of infrastructure house keeping team members can be added for maintaining temple cleaning and neatness.

Excellent temple Thanks to Hindu aranilathurai for maintaing the temple Good water facility for the devotees n hygienic bathrooms Overall the vibe in the temple gives you immense pleasure
