An Agraharam Homestay In Kumbakonam
Agraharam Heritage Homestay in Kumbakonam
Living on a traditional temple street with a pillared thinnai, courtyard and banana-leaf meals.
Kumbakonam's old agraharam streets are lined with houses that have a raised thinnai at the front and an open courtyard inside. A homestay in one of these homes is a slow, quiet way to see the temple town.
Good to know
- Many homes serve vegetarian meals only.
- Darasuram's Airavatesvara Temple is a short ride away.
- Ask about the Mahamaham tank and local festivals.
