Trichy Girivalam Path Gets Major Upgrade
2 Aug
Summary
- A new tar road will reconstruct the 5km girivalam route.
- The project has an estimated cost of ₹1.84 crore.
- Reconstruction aims to improve safety and ease for devotees.
A detailed project report has been prepared for the reconstruction of the girivalam path around Perumal Malai in Thuraiyur, Trichy. This initiative seeks to lay a new tar road, spanning approximately 5 kilometers, along the existing route at the foothills of the temple, which is famously known as 'South Tirupati'.
The project, estimated at ₹1.84 crore, is aimed at providing a safer and smoother pilgrimage experience for devotees. The current road has significantly deteriorated over time, causing difficulties for those undertaking the circumambulation, particularly those who walk barefoot.
This upgrade is especially crucial for Pournami (full moon) days when the temple attracts a large number of pilgrims. Many devotees who cannot travel to distant temples consider the Perumal Malai girivalam as an accessible alternative. The reconstruction will commence upon receiving administrative approval and financial allocations.
