    Since the palace has a wide courtyard you can walk around without feeling cramped, while Meenakshi’s main hall is more focused on the central shrine. If you’re short on time, the palace lets you see the frescoes and the light filled galleries in a relaxed pace, and you can easily head back to Alagar Koyil before sunset. If you’re up for a longer drive the next day, the Vaigai Dam offers a quieter riverside walk and a chance to see the spillway in action. If you need a place to stay nearby, Treebo Nestlay Rooms Gummidipoondi is a convenient option. TravelIndiaDeals may earn a commission if you book through this link.
