Spirituality has always been one of Tamil Nadu’s biggest strengths. The moment devotees loose grip on their mind, they tend to move towards the abode of deities to find ultimate solace. When it comes to the temples dotted in this region, you might get tired of counting but the list won’t come to an end. Specifically we will visit Sri Pratyangira Devi (the temple of Kali, the destroyer), Sanishwara Bahawan (the temple of the 9 planets in the solar system), Hannuman temple (the perseverant hero from the classical book Ramayana) and Shiva temple of Irumbai (the most important in the area with ancient legends predicting Auroville). Ruba will fascinate you with all the stories and legends of the local hindu culture and will delight you with a typical Tamil village meal on a banana leaf as plate.
