Checklist to Plan Your Trip to Kanchipuram for Athi Varadar Darshan
- Kanchipuram is very hot and there are several reports of devotees fainting due to heatstroke and dehydration. It is very important to carry sufficient water and stay hydrated before and during the waiting period before the Athi Varadar darshan.
- Book your hotels in advance and in proximity to the temple as hotels are getting booked very quickly and vehicles’ movements are restricted.
- Wear loose and light clothes are the sun will drain you out.
- Ensure you have your hotel rooms booked for a couple of days as it is going to be hectic to complete the darshan and travel in a day. This is specifically for people from Chennai and nearby places who are planning to pay a visit to Kanchipuram.
- The Athi Varadhar festival lasts for 48 days. The crowd is likely to increase towards the fag end of the festival. It is advisable to plan your trip soon.
Is there any fast dharshan for foreigners as we are coming from Singapore on 27 Jul and leaving on 28 Jul night.

I don’t think it works according to AAgama sastram, I think the process can be more streamlined and since this event happens once every 40yrs even the officials are not sure how much crowd is expected. But lets hope the devotees get darshan of Lord Athi Varadhar and come back safely.
