Trip toThiruvalanchuzhi Thiruvalanchuli Vellai Pillaiyar Nurai pillaiyaar Sweta Vinayakar Shweta Vinayakar Kali
My Son Prahalad and I took a bus from Trichy Central busstand to Kumbakonam at 1.30 reaching there by 4.30..

checked into MSM lodge room..they charge Rs.150 per day..this lodge is in bus stand itself and fairly convineient for the many short trips I make keeping kumbakonam as base..very many temples are spread around kumbakonam in the 3 hour by bus radius..after resting till 5pm and having a good bath, we took an auto for rs 150 to take us to Thiruvalenchuli, Pateeswaram durga and then dropping us at Aadhi kumbeswarar Siva Shiva temple. Generally the auto guys here give a package deal of 6 temples at rs 250 which can be covered in about 4-5 hrs. To every place thre are town busses plying but generally most of them are crowded as they link very many villages enroute and the roads are winding(so the journey is a tad slow)..there is lof of floating population from every town village near kumbakonam and back..very advisable to take autos for 25 km radius..u can also hire a car though it would be expensive..The tiruvalenchuli pilliyar is white..read details on temple below…very few archakas are there you need to wait a long time..or fetch the priest.. there is also a shrine for ashtambuja kali (8 hands) near the ambal temple...
