Tours-Golden Temple in Vellore
To relax your body, soul and mind
Vellore, situated 145 kilometer from Chennai is a semi rural bazaar town. The famous and
well preserved Vijayanagar Fort and its temple are located here. The famous river Palar and
Ponnar flows through this city. Presently, Sripuram – Narayanapeetam, Golden Temple has
become an attractive tourist spot for its architectural value. And, a little beyond Vellore is
Yelagiri hills, a place people go to for peace and salubrious weather.
If you are in a hurry, you can return to Chennai or Bengaluru after absorbing a lot of the
history and culture of Vellore. And if you have more time to spare, Vellore and its
surroundings will unravel several interesting places to tourists.
Tour Schedule:
Departure from Chennai around 8 am. arrive at Vellore around 11a.m. And start sightseeing
and have lunch at 1.30 pm. At 2.30 pm, resume sight seeing. Stop sightseeing at 6.30 pm
and departure to Chennai.
Places of interest
Amirthi Zoo/Park: It is situated under the Javadu Hills of Tellai across Amirthi River, located
25 kilometers away from Vellore.
Vellore Fort:
It is also known as Vijayanagar Fort. The fortification of the fort consists of a main rampart
broken at irregular intervals by round towers and the walls constructed with hewn kangaroo
stones are of rectangular shape.
The narrow wall running round the fort can be reached by a flight of steps at the entrance of
the fort. The main walls are built so strong with stones cut and filled together without mortar.
Jalakandeswarar Temple
was built in the late Vijayanagar style. It has two prakaras, inner and outer. The entry is in the
southern side. On the south-west corner of the outer court yard is the Kalyanamantapam
which is considered as a gem of architecture of Late Vijayanagar style in embellishments and
the art motifs of its pillars, ceilings and plinth mouldings.
Mosque inside the fort:
At present it is not used for worship and the gates of the mosque are closed.
It is rectangular in shape. On the front side it is plastered with lime and bricks. The Hindu
architecture slowly yielded place to the flourishing Muslim architecture which is evident in
the form of innumerable mosques.
Government Museum:
This is a multi-purpose museum treasuring the ancient and present day curios relating to
anthropology, art and archaeology, botany and geography. The historical monuments of the
erstwhile composite North Arcot district are gracefully depicted in the gallery.
Sripuram Lakshmi Narayani "Golden Temple":
The temple is located on a sprawling 100 acres of land. The temple, covering 55,000 sq ft,
has intricate carvings and sculptures in gold. The lighting is arranged in such a way that the
temple glitters even during night. About 400 goldsmiths and coppersmiths, including
craftsmen from Tirumala - Tirupati Devasthanam, have completed the architectural marvel in
gold in six years. The approximate cost of the temple is Rs 600 crore.
About 1.5 tonnes of Gold has been used in the construction of the Temple. The deity of
Mahalakshmi is made of stone granite, but covered with gold adornments. It is bigger than
the Golden temple in Amritsar. If you are lucky you can have the darshan of Sri Narayani
Amma the inspiration and the founder of the temple, and get his blessings.

2. ADVENTURE ZONE – FOR ADVENTURE WITH A DIFFERENCE
Feedback from a customer about Adventure Zone Trip
“First of all, the planning and execution of all the items in our agenda was done on time by the Service Square
representatives. The transport vehicle was perfect for our needs and there was never a stop/delay in our journey.
Once we reached Adventure Zone, we were made very comfortable with the environment and were informed of all the
activities in advance. Also, the food and other refreshments were served to us at the exact time. All this would have not
been possible without the Service Square guide, who was constantly with us, always willing to help.
Overall, the trip was very much enjoyable and excellently organized by Mr. Pandurangan. The one day trip for our Team
was definitely worth the money!
Thanks to Service Square, and looking forward to more such events.”
