How to reach Thirunallar Temple from Chennai or Puducherry is a common query for devotees planning a comfortable trip to the sacred Saneeswaran Temple. From Chennai, the easiest option is to travel by road or train. You can take a direct bus operated by TNSTC and private travels that run frequently from Chennai to Karaikal, from where Thirunallar is just a short distance away. If you prefer driving, the route via East Coast Road offers a smooth and scenic journey, taking around six to seven hours depending on traffic conditions. Train travel is also convenient, as several trains from Chennai Egmore and Tambaram connect to Karaikal and Mayiladuthurai, and from there you can hire an auto or taxi to reach the temple comfortably.
