Why Choose a Tempo Traveller for Thirukadaiyur?
Thirukadaiyur is about 270–280 km from Chennai, roughly a 6-hour drive along the East Coast Road. A tempo traveller suits this trip because:
- Everyone travels together. Elders, children and relatives share one vehicle, with no need to coordinate several cars.
- Comfort on a long drive. Pushback seats, AC and luggage space suit senior citizens attending the pooja.
- Lower cost per head. For groups of 10 or more, it costs less than separate cars or buses.
- Local knowledge. Our drivers have 10+ years of experience on the Chennai–Puducherry–Chidambaram–Mayiladuthurai route.
Thirukadaiyur is a Shiva temple town in Mayiladuthurai district. The Amirthakadeswarar–Abirami Temple is known as the place where Lord Shiva is believed to have protected the devotee Markandeya from death. This is why families come here to seek blessings for long life and good health, especially for milestone-age celebrations.
Temple highlights
- Presiding deity: Sri Amirthakadeswarar and Abirami Ambal
- Temple timings: 6:00 AM–12:30 PM and 4:00 PM–9:00 PM
- Abhishekam timings: please confirm with the temple before travel
