About Mayiladuthurai

Mayiladuthurai is a temple town on the Cauvery in northern Tamil Nadu, known for Mayuranathaswami Temple and as a base for Mayapur, Vaitheeswaran Kovil, and the Thiruvenkadu circuit. Travellers use it for a compact heritage stay rather than a long stop. Pair it with Poompuhar or a Kumbakonam night if you want more temples without rushing back to Trichy.
