Mantra Koodam - CGH Earth

Tucked in Veppathur near Kumbakonam, between the Cauvery and Veer Choza rivers. A short drive from the stone temples of Tanjore, Darasuram and Gangaikonda Cholapuram, and close to Kanchanur, Suryanar, Adi Kumbeswarar and Sarangapani temples. A handy base for day trips to Chettinad and Pondicherry.

Built like a traditional agraharam with illams, wide verandahs, Athangudi tiles and ornate teak doors. The property has cottages and 30 air-conditioned rooms with minibars, desks and private bathrooms. Stroll past coconut groves, temple shrines and the occasional peacock for a vintage, heritage stay.

Relax in indoor and outdoor pools, unwind at the full-service spa with massages and a sauna, or picnic in the gardens. Family-friendly playrooms and a library keep kids busy. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, free valet parking and an area shuttle make exploring easy.

A business center and conference hall handle meetings and events. 24-hour front desk, concierge, luggage storage and laundry/dry-cleaning services are available.

An on-site restaurant and a coffee shop/café serve local Tamil and regional flavors to fuel your temple tours and day trips.
