  • You will be picked from your hotel early in the morning for the 3-hour drive to the Temple of Mars in the town of Vaitheswaran. Mars is said to bestow valor, victory and strength. Believers take a dip in the water tank of this temple as it is said to have curative powers for skin ailments and also removes obstacles in getting married.  
  • Mercury Temple
    Next visit the Temple of Mercury located in the town of Thiruvenkadu, 10 miles away. This temple has been mentioned in the Hindu epic, Ramayana, and is believed to be 3,000 years old although it has been reconstructed over the ages. Mercury is said to bestow wisdom and intellect.
  • Keelperumpallam Kethu
    The last stop on the tour is the Temple of Ketu located in the town of Keelaperumpallam, a twenty minute drive away. The malefic influence of Ketu is feared by all as it is defined as ‘the taker’ in Hindu astrology. All three temples were built during the reign of the Cholas between the 7th and 11th century A.D. and are reflective of the Dravidian style of architecture that is characterized by a 5-tiered central tower with ornate exteriors. At the end of the tour, enjoy lunch (own expense) at a local restaurant. After lunch you will be driven back to Trichy and dropped off at your hotel.
