Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
You can travel from Chennai, which is in Tamilnadu. Just one hour drive from Chennai i.e. 60-70 km from Chennai. Beware of pure silk sarees. You may be duped if you do not know about purity of silk sarees. Pure silk saree has weight, silky soft when touched whereas tested (not so pure) silk sarees zari border become black after 15 years which has less weight and rough to touch.
