November sits in the peak, book 60+ days ahead of the South India calendar, the kind of month that defines what you get from the trip more than any other variable, including the stay choice.

The cool, dry season is best for exploring the temple's stone halls in comfort. The Natyanjali dance festival, held around Maha Shivaratri in February to March, brings Bharatanatyam performers to the temple and is a memorable time to visit. Coastal Tamil Nadu is hot and humid from April, and the northeast monsoon can bring heavy rain in October to November.
