We had been to Vellore on our bike from Bangalore on March friday. We were apprehensive that being TamilNadu it would be language problem but we were astonished to see the majority of people in Vellore being well-versed in Hindi and all were extremely co-operative and gave us correct directions to the temple and also did not make us feel like outsiders. Even the temple authorities had pleasant smiles on their faces.
Regarding the temple, we entered at 3 pm and completed our free darshan by 5 pm. For special darshan of INR 100, it would take approx. 2 hours. While entering, we can reads positive thoughts written in Hindi, English, Telugu, Kannada & Tamil. The temple is made up of gold and is surrounded with water, on similar limes to Amritsar Golden Temple. The temple architecture also impresses you every bit and you cannot stop adoring the temple. Also, the positivity which the temple possesses is also worth mentioning. We felt a positive stream of blood flowing inside us on being there which carried it with us even after darshan.
Really, a place worth visiting repeatedly.
Our only concern is the cleanliness of toilets at the waiting area.
Overall, a great experience and looking forward to visit the temple again.
