Best time of day to visit Sri Ponnambalawaneswarar Kovil.

Visiting during the evening puja around 6:00 PM is also fantastic. The temple is illuminated with hundreds of oil lamps, and the chanting and traditional music are incredibly powerful to observe.

The temple is constructed entirely out of intricately carved Indian granite. In the early morning, the sunlight streams through the stone pillars, and the smoke from the incense creates a deeply mystical, highly photogenic atmosphere.
