Locality Guide
Thirumalaikodi is the locality that holds Sripuram Golden Temple — a quieter, greener part of Vellore than the city centre. Sri Kamalanivas sits inside this locality, not a separate part of town shuttled in from.
Thirumalaikodi is a locality on the outskirts of Vellore, Tamil Nadu, known primarily as the home of Sripuram Golden Temple (Sri Narayani Peedam). It is greener and calmer than central Vellore, with the temple's grounds shaping much of the local pace of life.
Many hotels marketed as "near Sripuram" are actually based in central Vellore, adding a taxi ride to every darshan visit. Staying inside Thirumalaikodi — as Sri Kamalanivas does — removes that commute entirely, at 100–400 metres from the temple gates.
