Planning a pilgrimage to Arunachalam (Tiruvannamalai) with family, friends, or a group of devotees? SM Travels offers reliable and comfortable Tempo Traveller rentals from Hyderabad to Arunachalam, ensuring a safe and spiritual journey. With our spacious vehicles, experienced drivers, and well-organized packages, you can travel without stress while focusing on the divine experience of visiting Sri Arunachaleswarar Temple at the sacred Annamalai Hills.
Arunachalam, located in Tamil Nadu’s Tiruvannamalai district, is one of the holiest Shaivite pilgrimage centers in India. The Arunachaleswarar Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva in the form of Agni (Fire Linga), one of the five Pancha Bhoota Lingas representing the elements. It is also a place of great spiritual significance due to the practice of Girivalam (circumambulation of the holy Arunachala Hill), which attracts lakhs of devotees, especially during Pournami (full moon days). The temple town is also associated with the great saint Sri Ramana Maharshi, whose ashram continues to inspire seekers worldwide.
With SM Travels, your journey from Hyderabad to Arunachalam is more than just travel – it becomes a smooth, devotional, and memorable pilgrimage.
