Anantya in the Village is ideally located to visit many prominent temples in Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi. If you are visiting Alwarthirunagari for a darshan of Perumal, you can simply walk from the homestay to the temple. Located on the western side of the temple, our balcony is a great spot to sit and watch the processions on festival days.
For darshans at Navathirupathi, Navakailsam, or Tiruchendur our taxi will chaperon you. A guide can also be requested.
Be it spiritual, architectural, or religious pursuit, visiting Navathirupathi is a must! Interestingly, these temples have Vishnu represented as a “Navagraham”, one of the 9 celestial/planetary bodies.
Follow the lotus flowers floating down the Thamirabarani river to the sea and visit the nine Shiva temples dedicated to the celestial bodies. Learn of the legend from us and then visit the Navakailasam Shiva temples.
The famous Murugan temple by the beach is iconic in these parts and beyond. Witness the bhakti of devotees who pierce themselves, carry Kavadi, do angapradhakshinam, to please Muruga. A visit here takes on a spiritual, religious and a beachside tone!

Learn of Nammalvar’s story, his devotion so intense that here in Alwarthirunagari, he, the guru, has a position equal to or even more than the Perumal he worshiped. Hear the “Pasurams,” the hymns Nammalvar composed, where he yearns for his lord like a lover yearning for his beloved.
Visit the temple at Alwarthirunagari, see the tamarind tree, the shrine for Nammalvar, and two idols bearing testimony to the tales you will hear at Anantya in the Village.
Watch artists at work! They painstakingly create traditional handicrafts once associated with every day village life, now fast falling victim to modernity.
The Pathamadai mat weavers making the humble grass mats, the bedding of yesteryear Tirunelveli households and an essential of every bride’s wedding gifts. Losing favour to modern mattresses and still surviving as a picnic favourite. One for your living room maybe?
Textile tour of the famous “Chedi Butti” sari. Visit the artists who hand weave these.
The local potter, plastic basket makers, flower garland makers will happily show their wares.
