Karthigai Deepam Annadhanam in Tiruvannamalai

Karthigai Deepam is the biggest festival of Tiruvannamalai. The Maha Deepam is lit on the hill at dusk, and very large numbers of pilgrims come to walk the Girivalam path.

Sponsoring Annadhanam on this day is a way to take part in the festival. Because the crowds are large, we suggest you book early.
