DAY 1: LAND IN TRICHY (TANJORE) 🛕
Begin in Trichy: We bring our A-game when it’s time to meet you at Trichy International Airport. Picture this: your tour guide greets you with a beaming smile, and a chariot—yes, a Radha Sarathi—arrives to whisk you away through the enchanting city of Tirchy. (Don’t worry, we swapped the horse for a more modern ride.)
Begin the Trail: Your first stop on this divine journey is to meet none other than the Moon God, Chandran. Feel free to visit him in the morning, or even when you're feeling a bit “moody”—he’s always happy to help! Bow to him at the Chandran Temple, his humble abode, and ask for relief from the infamous Chandra Dosha. That nagging pain or suffering? He’s got you covered with a sprinkle of celestial charm. Once you’ve slipped on your sandals, it’s back in the chariot for the next leg of the journey. Hold tight as you glide toward the Aalangudi Apatsahayesvarar Temple, better known as the Guru Temple. This is the court of Jupiter, or as he’s called in the heavens, Brihaspati. Pray for wisdom, education, and the fine arts—maybe you’ll even impress Lord Indra himself with your newfound intellect.
Refuel & Restart: With your thoughts well-fed, it's time to treat your appetite! Enjoy a hearty meal before heading to Suriyanar Temple, the abode of the Sun God himself. Now, this isn’t just any temple. It’s the only one in Tamil Nadu that has all 9 shrines of the Navagraha planets. Talk about a planetary all-you-can-pray buffet! Now, for the grand finale of day 1, we’re taking you to the Sukran Temple at Kanjanoor, dedicated to Lord Sukran (Venus). If you’re struggling with love, marriage, or perhaps a little extra glow-up, Lord Sukran’s got your back. He’s said to help resolve issues in relationships, beauty, and comforts—probably the most adored deity by men, considering he's known to ensure the well-being of their wives.
Sink into Comfort: After all the divine adventures, it’s time to rest your celestial soul at Great Trails River View Resort Thanjavur by GRT Hotels, your haven for the night. Settle into the lush surroundings, breathe in the rustic air, and get ready for another heavenly day. Recharge and prepare for more divine discoveries tomorrow—we’re not done with the gods just yet!Read More
DAY 2: VISIT THE NAVAGRAHA TEMPLES 🛕
Sacred Journey Continued: Start your day with a hearty breakfast and get ready for an adventure that’s more divine than your morning coffee! It’s time to hit the road for a spiritual journey to the Navagraha temples, where nine celestial deities await. First up, buckle up for a stop at the Rahu Temple at Thirunageswaram, where Rahu isn’t your typical cosmic figure. Forget the usual serpent-headed image you’ve seen in the movies – here, Lord Rahu sports a human face. It’s like the celestial version of a superhero whose secret identity you didn’t know about!
Sins Be Gone: Next, we’re off to the Saneeswaran Temple at Thirunallar. Here, devotees swear that a holy dip in Nala Theertham can wash away all kinds of misfortunes, like bad karma from your past lives – you know, all the ‘oops’ moments. Basically, it's like getting a cosmic ‘refresh’ button for your soul. Then, in the afternoon, make your way to the Kethu Temple at Kilperumpallam, dedicated to Ketu Bhagwan, the shadow planet. Ketu here has an interesting appearance—half asura, half snake. Finally, after all this celestial touring, return to Kumbakonam for an overnight stay, and let the divine vibes sink in. Recharge and reflect on the temples and cosmic characters you’ve just encountered – it's the ultimate blend of serenity and curiosity.
Recharge for Tomorrow: As the stars begin to shine, you’ll head back to GReaT Trails River View Resort Thanjavur by GRT Hotels for a peaceful night. Rest up, because tomorrow might bring more cosmic surprises! Who knows, you might even spot a few shooting stars or, in the spirit of Navagraha, a few celestial selfies!Read More
DAY 3: BACK TO YOUR TEMPLES' VISIT 🛕
Resume Your Journey: Rise and shine, it's a brand-new day with a plate full of possibilities (and a delicious breakfast)! The journey continues, and we're off to explore the remaining Navagraha temples. First, we head to the Vaitheeswaran Koil (Sevvai Temple), dedicated to Mars, or as we like to call him, Angaraka. Devotees flock here seeking relief from illnesses, so if you’ve ever had a cold that just won’t go away or an argument with your Wi-Fi, this is the place for some divine healing. It’s like a cosmic check-up for your soul!
Uncover More Temples: Next, we make our way to the Budhan Temple (Swetharanyeswarar Temple) at Thiruvenkadu. If you’ve ever wished for a boost in knowledge, good grades, or that elusive "aha!" moment in a crossword puzzle, this is where you want to be. Worshipping Budha Bhagavan here is said to bless you with wisdom and learning. It’s like enrolling in the universe’s most prestigious university – no student loans required!
Bring the Experience Home: After that, take a leisurely stroll through the charming village surroundings and soak in the local craftsmanship. It’s like a live version of 'Handmade with Love' – a great place to pick up a unique souvenir or, at the very least, a story to tell. As the evening sets in, it’s time to return and kick back at GReaT Trails River View Resort Thanjavur by GRT Hotels. Relax in the serene atmosphere, surrounded by lush greenery. Take it easy, recharge, and get ready for another day of adventure tomorrow. After all, it’s all about balance – spiritual journeys by day, relaxation by night.Read More
DAY 4: UNTIL NEXT TIME 🛕
End of Pilgrimage: We know you’re craving to explore more, but let’s wrap up the last day with something spectacular! As we always do, we kick things off with a delicious breakfast (because, hey, we need our energy for all this divine adventure). After that, it’s time to head straight to the iconic Brihadeeswarar Temple (Big Temple), a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a true masterpiece of Chola architecture. It’s one of the largest Hindu temples in the world and a perfect example of Tamil Dravidian architecture. You’ll be in awe of the intricate carvings and grand design – it’s like stepping into a living, breathing history book, but much more impressive! Need a glimpse of the empire’s glory? Just look up, and you’ll feel like you’ve entered another time.
See You Soon: If time allows, we’ll swing by the Srirangam Temple – the largest functioning Hindu temple, where Lord Ranganathaswamy is reclining in a peaceful position (Sayana Kolam). Be sure to take a look at the South Rajagopuram, the towering 236-foot-high structure with 13 tiers. Looking up at it feels like the tower’s reaching for the sky – pure architectural magic and something your soul would appreciate. Sadly, all good things must come to an end, but don't worry – we’ll drop you off at Trichy for your onward journey, sending you off with a heart full of memories and a soul that's a little bit more enlightened.
The Next Sacred Stop: If you’re someone who can never get enough of temples (we see you, spiritual seeker!), check out our other packages below and get ready for your next grand adventure with us. There’s always more to explore – the journey never really ends!Read More
