If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of ideas. Situated 20 miles away, Kumbakonam is worth jumping in the car for. Brahma Temple, Sarangapani Temple and Sani Bhagawan Temple alone make the drive out worthwhile. Don’t miss Thanjavur either! Just 40 miles away, Thanjur Brihadishwara Temple, Maratha Palace and Thanjavur Royal Palace and Art Gallery are essential stops here.
