• Vaitheeswarankoil - Your journey begins with an early morning departure from your accommodation for a three-hour drive to the Temple of Mars, situated in the town of Vaitheswaran. Mars is renowned for granting courage, triumph, and vigor. Devotees immerse themselves in the temple’s sacred tank, believed to possess healing properties for dermatological conditions and to clear hindrances in matrimonial prospects.

• Mercury Temple - The next destination is the Temple of Mercury, located in Thiruvenkadu, which is a short 10-mile journey. This temple is referenced in the revered Hindu text, the Ramayana, and is estimated to be around 3,000 years old, though it has undergone several renovations throughout history. Mercury is associated with the endowment of knowledge and mental acuity.

• Keelaperumpallam Temple - Concluding the tour is the Temple of Ketu in Keelaperumpallam, merely a twenty-minute drive away. Ketu’s malevolent influence is well-known and feared in Hindu astrology, where it is known as ‘the taker.’

These three temples were constructed during the Chola dynasty, which spanned from the 7th to the 11th century A.D., and they exhibit the Dravidian architectural style, marked by a quintuple-tiered central tower adorned with intricate designs.

To finish off the excursion, savor a meal (at your own cost) at a nearby eatery.

Post-lunch, you will be conveyed back to Trichy and returned to your lodging.

Embark on a day trip from Trichy to explore temples that honor the nine planetary deities, or Navagrahas, recognized in Hindu mythology. The Navagrahas encompass the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu. In the southern state of Tamil Nadu in India, there is a collection of nine temples, with each one devoted to a different celestial body. The Hindu faith posits that these astronomical entities exert both advantageous and harmful effects on a person’s astrological chart as they traverse their planetary paths. Devotion to them aids in counteracting their adverse influences.
