Before you go
Questions, answered.
Is Melmalayanur Angalaparameswari Temple open every day?
Yes, but Amavasya (new moon) and Maha Shivaratri bring very large crowds, so check dates before you book.
Is Gingee Fort a steep climb?
The upper fort involves a long climb of many steps. Seniors can skip it and visit the lower temples.
