I had the opportunity to visit Arulmigu Nellaiyappar Temple in Tirunelveli, and it was a wonderful experience. The temple is one of the finest examples of Dravidian architecture, with its beautifully sculpted pillars, intricate carvings, and a vast temple complex that reflects centuries of history and devotion. The atmosphere inside the temple is very serene and spiritual, making it a perfect place to spend time in prayer or simply to admire the cultural richness. The temple is also well-maintained, and the traditional rituals performed here add to the divine charm. Overall, this temple is not just a place of worship but also a must-visit cultural and architectural landmark in Tamil Nadu. A visit here leaves you feeling both peaceful and inspired.

Nellaiyappar temple Such a monumental temple with extraordinary architecture. It was simply blissful to be there. Temple is just in the heart of Tirunelveli. There are multiple temples inside the campus. It’s will definitely take more than 1 hour to complete all gods. If you are a spiritual and architect lovers. You shouldn’t miss to visit this temple.

Historically old architectural temple, popularly known for its manimandabam with musical pillars. Two big temple inside the single complex connected by chain mandabam. One for Nelliappar for lord siva and another for the goddess Gandhimathi. There are variety of other lingams such as mola lingam and gubera lingam and sachasra lingam etc. nellai govindar sannidhi is also present near to the lord siva sanctrum. Very big temple complex with big prahars.

A huge temple in thirunelvelli. There is a lot of divinity once you enter the temple. One side is placed the sun God and the other side is moon.There is Kuber lingam here. The speciality is in front of gandhimathi thayar is a Nandi.The main gopuram is short like kerala temple

Nellaiyappar Kovil in Tirunelveli is a truly mesmerizing temple filled with divine energy and breathtaking architecture. The majestic towers, detailed stone carvings, and musical pillars showcase the brilliance of ancient craftsmanship. The atmosphere is peaceful and spiritual, especially during the evening pooja when the temple glows with lamps and chants. It’s one of the most beautiful and sacred places to experience in Tamil Nadu, a must-visit for anyone coming to Tirunelveli.

A 2nd biggest siva temple in world,with very huge 3(3 for ambal + 3 for shiva)pragarams. Gomathy ambal is very gorgeous 😍 (gnanasakthi swaroopam). I have given 5 starts because every inch of the temple are very clean , Management is not shown that much interest in commercializing darshan( No 100rs,50 rs tickets for darshan) only 5 rs that too not required for all days . I really felt shivas heaven when I entered near garbhagraham of nellaiyappar .I suggest all to visit arround 5.30 Am to see the thiruvanathal sevai ,you will never forget the temple in life

Peaceful atmosphere and spiritual energy....Architectural masterpiece..The temple brings out the best in you; idols are well-maintained and the vibes are divine.🙏🏻om nama sivaya🙏🏻

I don't know much about this church because l am roman catholic. but had an opportunity to visit this church. Its very big neat and clean. Didn't expect such a huge church in the middle of the city.

A simple but Elegant church. One of Tirunelveli's Greatest Architectural Engineering feats. A great place to pray and relax.

I am very happy to think that I am a member of the choir of this Holy Trinity Cathedral. Peace is in the midst of all the worries that come to the Holy Trinity Cathedral Church. The thought of coming here is heartening. As soon as you enter this Church you can feel the touch of the divine, and you can see Jesus. An unforgettable rapture in my life. The best place to worship the Lord and Praise him. This church will be heard to each and every prayer that raises in here and no prayer will be returned without answer. This Church is the cause of all the blessings I have received. We Heartly Welcome You All to come and worship the Trinity God... GOD BLESS YOU.

It's a beautiful and divine place where I visited this church for a wedding ceremony. Good maintenance and there is plenty of parking space available.

"The Holy Trinity Church in Palayamkottai is a breathtakingly beautiful and historic architectural marvel. Its stunning structure and intricate details make it an ideal setting for sacred ceremonies. The church's serene ambiance, coupled with its rich history and spiritual significance, creates a deeply moving experience for visitors and worshippers alike. Whether you're looking to attend a holy ceremony, admire the architecture, or simply seek solace, the Holy Trinity Church is a must-visit destination."

Holy Place for Peace and Blessings... I had awesome emotions when I visiting the church ... Its always full of believers and prayer warriors... There is new imported content Organ bought in the year 2020... A Good Choir Singer are there to praise Lord almighty...

Truly blessed to be part of such a warm and welcoming church community. The messages are inspiring, the worship uplifting, and the fellowship deeply meaningful. Grateful for a place that nurtures both faith and love...

Centre is open on all the days of the year except on Pongal & Deepavali Open Hours : 10.00 AM-06.30 PM Entry fee : Rs.30 3D Film Shows : Rs.30 Digital Planetarium shows : Rs.30 Entry fees 30rs is way to high... No upgrades...it remains the same for years Only the gardens are well maintained..

Great place to keep the kids engaged for 1 to 2 hours. Nice exhibits and well laid out. There is a small play area outdoors.

The 3D theater show was average, overall it's a good place to visit with family and kids.

District Science Centre in Palayamkottai, Tirunelveli is a very nice place for children and families. It has many science exhibits which you can touch and try. Kids really enjoy the sections like Fun Science, Mirror Magic, Electronics, and the Planetarium show. There is also a 3D theatre, a small dinosaur park, and a science garden with green space where you can sit or walk. Many school trips come here because students can see and learn science in a fun way. Entry ticket is affordable (around ₹25–₹30), and extra ₹30 for the 3D or planetarium. The place is usually calm and peaceful — good for a relaxed visit. But some problems are there. Few machines are not working, and cleanliness inside could be better. Maintenance is not proper in some parts. Parking is outside the gate, so visitors have to walk a bit. Also, the 3D glasses are not very clear, so that can improve. ✅ Good points: Educational, fun for kids, low cost, planetarium, greenery ⚠️ Bad points: Some exhibits not working, basic maintenance issues, no inside parking Final word: Very good for school kids and science lovers — just keep expectations simple.

Kids will love to go around. Needs to put some staff to explain the science apart from explanation boards 👏

There’s no dedicated parking space available, so you’ll need to find a spot along the nearby road for your four-wheeler. The entry ticket costs ₹30 per person. However, if you want to visit the 3D theater, there’s an additional charge—which the billing section usually doesn’t mention—so be sure to ask about it at the counter. Inside, you’ll find science-related exhibits, a small playground for kids, and a few animal and bird enclosures. There are also mechanical dinosaurs that growl through speakers and make small head movements at intervals. While these features are interesting, what I enjoyed the most was the wind—it's incredibly breezy and refreshing. You can relax with your family, find a nice spot, and just enjoy the pleasant atmosphere. There’s also a small garden with flowers. If you’re wondering whether the ticket is worth the price, I’d say yes—mainly for the wind. That alone made the visit memorable for me.

Good atmosphere and calm mind set childrens best time pass place......,

Hidden Gem Near Coutralam Falls! 🌿💦 Wow! What a lovely and beautiful place to enjoy. Located just 40 km away from Coutralam Falls, this mesmerizing spot is far less crowded, making it a peaceful escape. Though the waterfall here is smaller in height, the force of the water is incredible—you literally can’t stand against it! It pushes you right off your spot, which makes it super fun, especially when you're with a group of friends. 🎉 Right next to the falls, you’ll find a dam, which is quite rare to witness together. I’ve never seen a dam and waterfall side by side like this—it’s truly a unique experience! They’ve thoughtfully provided separate dress changing rooms for ladies, ensuring privacy and safety. 👍 The same road also leads to Manjolai, which is a restricted forest area where entry is not allowed without special permission. This entire place is under the control of the Forest Department, and there are strict security checks. Carrying snacks, food, or drinks is not allowed—if you bring any, they’ll be taken at the check post and returned to you on the way back. 📅 Best time to visit: June to August, when the falls are at their best. If you like my review. Please do click like button. Thanks, Sabarinathan C

A beautiful place which is not maintained properly. Park looks like graveyard. Government could have taken steps to maintain it properly. Proper checking has been done before entering the falls which was appreciable. If everything is maintained well,it will be one of the best tourist spot in Tirunelveli .

Such a calm and amazing place to have nature bath.Bathing in this falls was an unforgettable experience! The cool, crystal-clear water felt incredibly refreshing and rejuvenating. Surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sound of rushing water, it was pure peace and natural beauty. The atmosphere was both calming and energizing at the same time. It’s a magical spot that connects you deeply with nature — truly a must-visit!

Reserve forest area and entry by buying tickets from officials. It's a trek uphill and water is cool and damn pure. Neatly maintained place due to strict maintaince by officals.

The place was good and neat... don't use any plastic items there. -no foods allowed inside checkpost -no plastic items or plates are not allowed -visit and keep it neatly

Excellent place.lot of forest restrictions.can enjoy pristine water fall.such fresh water with force.

Had a great time with my friends, here Glad to have a such a waterfall in my native, Please don't bring plastics, food items and detergents are not allowed, Entry fees is 50 inr per vehicle and 30 inr per individual

Dishes Tasted Fine ! The old shop is Located opposite to this Where you can get their coconut oil chicken! Good for families! Bit over priced! Fried Rice is made on coconut oil not everyone likes that!

Vairamaligai Restaurant is always crowded, which shows how popular it is. The food here is really tasty and freshly prepared - definitely worth trying! However, the prices are a bit on the higher side. If you don’t mind spending a little extra for good taste and quality, it’s a nice place to dine.

Received the hot and sour soup. Did not expect this, all I had to do was add the seasoning at the table. 😂, this will make us a chef on the fly. Butter chicken was not buttering for me, the grill is a disappointment and the chicken Manchurian was okay. The only thing that was good on my plate was the parotta, would recommend only that for a hold dinner in experience. And also don't ask for a waiter as they work on their own schedule. P S. The Mayo was sketchy. Avoid it.

Good food nothing special, won’t say as a must try place. Costly too. I tried parotta and naatu kozhi. Naatu kozhi gravy was mediocre - it was tangy. Anyone who has had authentic gravy would know that this is nowhere close to that.

Not worth the hype, we walked in for dine in they made us wait for 30 mins and they wouldn't accept take away orders while you're eating within the restaurant and make you go to the billing counter and order again, the attached bill time stamp shows 10.18 pm and time is already 10.45 it just takes 45 mins to an hour just to give us 4 parotta packed. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant if you're planning to go as a big family eat out.

They had parking facility for buses and they were able to accommodate 122 members at Same Time .

Easily accessible. Parking is available. Food is delicious and moderately priced.

The food is awesome! My favourite would be the sheela meen fry, And the mutton sapadu! The price is bit high though, costs 320 for a mutton sapadu!

High price on low quantity food for meals and ghee rice combo . Food tasty is average

Shahi mess, they claim that this is kayalpatnam food taste. But it’s not. worst food taste. Ordered pepper chicken, but waiter brought me normal chicken curry with leg piece and top is fully put pepper powder. Very Disappointed. But price is very high.

Food tastes ok They must increase their hygiene level Bit over priced

The cost is high ...I won't say its not delicious 🤓🤓🤓

Good,but on Fridays they supply only ghee rise with curries ordered,rice is more but not garnished well. The quantity of side dish is less in comparison to the other shops. The taste of curries supplied was very good. The owner and the suppliers maintained a very good attitude..

worst experience.... Ate chicken meals and ghee rice today for Rs 250 (single). I never feel such worst experience . Also worst in service too. This is worth for only Rs 50 or 60. Owner and servents are physo , not good for family members ,For Ghee rice they are using ordinary rice grants that taste like Goverment rice

Good spot to hangout and take a quick bite. Good place to have birthday celebration. Chicken items are special here

Worst burger I've ever tasted including small shops. Cheese slice was not cooked at all. Cheeza was pathetic. The cheese stuck on the plate. Don't go if you want to taste authentic Marry brown Burger.

Good ambiance but food is not up to the level comparing to the cost

Nice feel inside the restaurant. all kind of fud items r availible.🍱

I liked most of the food served here, especially Schezwan chicken rice

A bit pricey compared to what you can get it from outside. The taste of the chicken are fair and the services are also fair to be honest. Nothing much to them. Don't know if they will provide services for long at this point .Don't expect KFC from them.

Good option of you are planning to have a birthday party or a official party or a friends get together. Located inside the city. The best thing is nice to haceMarry Brown in the city. But it will be good if we get more options as of Chennai. Very less number of selective options were there.

Whenever I visit Tirunelveli, I used to have lunch here. Three months ago, the meal cost ₹120, but it has recently increased to ₹150. Initially, they provided ghee and parupu podi, but on my visit today, October 20, 2024, those items were not included. Additionally, the quality of the food has declined; I found two small particles in the vegetables, indicating they weren't washed properly. It seems they have prioritized profit over maintaining quality and service.

Today we tried lunch from here. The special dal curry with ghee was excellent. The koottu poriyal was superb. The cauliflower fry was good, but it was too oily.Over all good. The food is very expensive compared to other hotels.

Went to try Sodhi and it's awesome. Some of my friends suggested this mess since I had cravings for Sodhi Kulambu (Dish made from buttermilk exclusive to Tirunelveli & Kanyakumari). The side dishes were also good. Would definitely recommend this place for vegetarian folks. Car parking and access to the mess is little problematic because of narrow congested roads but if you travel by motorcycle then it's not a problem.

My honest review: I went to Muthu Mess for lunch after few years with high expectations. To start with, the place is too pricey, ₹ 150 for a ordinary meal with just one poriyal, kootu and no curd is day light robbery, even Sangeetha or Geetham in Chennai is cheaper than this. Then they have multiple sides like Sodhi, fry, poriyal etc, chargeable which are very average, I get a feeling they are reheating or frying again. Not up to the mark. Now Sodhi, sambar are all too watery, even the curd we buy for 20 rupees extra is too watery. I really wonder how many people in Tirunelveli can afford 250 for a meal. I don’t recommend this restaurant any more. Regarding service, people are not interested to serve, very lethargic and takes multiple calls to come and serve. Owner boy is damn arrogant. Only the chants of hare rama Hare Krishna is pleasing to the ears

Taste and quality wise good but price and quantity wise bad for side dish. We have tried Gobi fry for that we need to pay 25 rupees but quantity is very less, same to other side dishes but meals will cost 100 rupees which includes two sde dish, unlimited rice, rasam, sambar, vatha kulambu and butter milk, specially for their pure vegetarian we can try for one time Cons: price of the side dish, parking Pros: taste and history

One of the Worst hotel I ever visited in Tirunelveli. Overly priced food. Don't believe those fake influencer. Very average food charged 150 rs. Just one poriyal, kootu, keerai. Worst atmosphere they aren't follow any hygiene. They asked us to wait infront of hotel. After some time the guard ask us to go upstairs. But again we are waiting in the hotel dining infront of other customers who are all eating, It's like we have to identify the places like kalyana veedu sapadu idam pidikrathu😝.I felt whether im here for free food😂Better the hotel should concentrate on its services and food quality. Stay away fake influence

Had lunch. The stuff is okay. But i find the difference between my last visit and this one, the taste is deteriorating. Needs to be improved. Service also needs to be improved. Moderate rush. But the restaurant is very neat
