Avoid at all costs ! My basic observations: 1. It is extremely commercialized 2. People ask money every 5ft of the temple premises 3.

All food counters/ refreshment stalls are doubly expensive 5. There is... More

Visit to the temple gives... More

It’s very beautiful and the experience is very good. Though no doubt it is fully commercialize but still if you are visiting Vellore, you should visit the temple specially in night as it looks amazing. The place is well connected and you can get auto from all corners of city to travel. More
