Detailed explanation
October–March for cooler weather. Avoid peak festival crush unless you specifically want Meenakshi Kalyanam atmosphere. Early morning and late evening are calmer for photography of outer corridors (inner sanctum rules apply).
Travel tips
- Dress modestly; remove footwear at designated points.
- Allow 2–3 hours for a calm circuit of both sanctums and corridors.
- Combine with Thirumalai Nayakkar Palace only if energy remains — do not rush both.
