    Good timing for the temple is right after 6:30 am when the gates open. After a quiet walk inside, head to Thirumalai Nayakkar Mahal; the 2 km walk takes about 15 minutes and you’ll see the façade before the sun rises higher. From the palace you can stroll to the museum, which is a short 5 minute walk away. If you’re staying close, Hotel Grand Sabarees is only a short walk from all three sites.
