Girivalam
Girivalam in Tiruvannamalai is a pilgrimage walk of approximately 14 km around Arunachala Hill, passing the eight Ashta Lingam shrines. Many devotees undertake the walk barefoot, particularly on full moon nights. The path begins right outside our hotel, and we can arrange a takeaway kit with tetra-pack juice, water, and bakery items at an additional charge.
Karthigai Deepam
Celebrated on the full moon of the Tamil month of Karthigai, usually in November or December, Karthigai Deepam marks the lighting of the Maha Deepam atop Arunachala Hill. The sacred flame can be seen across the town. Plan your Karthigai Deepam stay with us and enjoy a location along the Girivalam path during the festival.
