Temple Tour Packages

Lord Jagannath Temple: The Lord Jagannath Temple in Puri is another one of those must visit temples in India that should be part of your temple package. The temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna, and is a vital part of the Char Dham Yatra. The rules here are very strict, and non-hindus do not get to enter the temple premises at all. The annual Rath Yatra held here is an event attended by people from the world over.

Meenakshi Temple: Dedicated to Goddess Parvati, the Meenakshi Temple located in Tamil Nadu’s Madurai city is an architectural wonder in itself, apart from being a place of devotion. There are nearly a thousand pillars inside the temple, all of which are intricately carved and different from each other. The external facade of the temple is a very, very bright and colorful one.

Dwarkadhish Temple: The Dwarkadhish Temple in Gujarat is another part of the Char Dham yatra that hindus consider the ultimate pilgrimage. More than 2,500 years old, the temple is believed to have a door to enter heaven and one to enter nirvana.

Amarnath Cave Temple: This is probably the biggest pilgrimage that a hindu devotee goes on, the Amarnath Yatra. The Amarnath Cave Temple is located in Kashmir, and it is much acclaimed for the natural shiva lingam that forms here during the monsoons, when the dripping water freezes to form the idol. This temple is open only from June to August, and does take a hard trek to visit here, taking nearly 5 days to finish the journey.

Tirupati Balaji Temple: The Tirupati Balaji Temple, located in Andhra Pradesh, is probably one of the most famous temples in India. Over a million devotees visit it daily, offering their hair as a penance for getting their wishes granted. This happens during the Brahmotsavam festival that is held every year in September.

Sabarimala Temple: Located in Kerala, this temple is one with strange customs, of not letting women of menstruation age enter it. It is dedicated to Lord Ayappa, the son of Lord Shiva and Mohini, who was the female incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Recent interventions by the Supreme Court mandated that women of all ages be allowed to enter the temple premises.

These are only a few of the many, many temples that are part of India.
