Thanks Hari!
I would like to add few other things to this list:
1. The major attraction of Periyapalayam is Sri Bhavani Amman Temple, which is located on Arani river and is dedicated to Goddess Bhavani, an incarnation of Parvati. Every year thousands of devotees and tourists come to enjoy its grand festivals. The temple is also famous for its wonderful patterns and carvings.
2. One cannot miss this wonderful “Kailasakona waterfall” en route to Tirupati from Chennai. Over a period of time, it has become a favourite stoppage for all the travellers and tourists. The essence of spirituality and peace can be felt here. Do not miss a visit to the small temple situated at the base of the waterfall. You can start your spiritual journey at this temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
Other than this – Kapila Theertham and Govindarajaswami Temple, could also be added to the bucket list.
Wonderful Post! This blog has an amazing information about the destination. The post and blog is very unique. Thank you so much for sharing the details.
