Thiruvannamalai Tourist Attractions
§ Arunachaleshwar Temple

The temple of Lord Annamalai and Goddess Unnamalai in Tiruvannamalai (in Tiruvannamalai Sambuvarayar district) enshrines Lord Siva in His Form of fire, one of the five elements. Situated at the foot of a range of hills and extending over some 9.7 hectares of ground, this impressive temple is associated with the popular spectacle of the Kartigai bonfire when, on Kartigai day in December or January, a huge fire is lift up, visible for kilometers around.

§ Karthigai Deepam Festival

The Karthigai Deepam festival is marked by impressive ritual. As the moon passes from the constellation Bharani to Krittika, a nightlong puja to the linga is performed, with a fire sacrifice before the statue of Surya in the hall before the main shrine. At dawn, a small bowl of ghee lit at this fire is used to light five other lamps. A portion of this fire is placed in a container of baked earth and placed on the summit of the hill.

§ Ashram

The ashram has a Siva temple, a meditation hall and 'goshala' (cow shelter). The silence prevailing there adds to the atmosphere of devotion and sanctity. The Seshadri Maharishi ashram and Yogi Ramsuratkumar ashram (Visiriswamy) are also nearby.
