If you are planning to visit the famous Aranmula Parthasarathy Temple at Aranmula, you will most certainly love to stay at the Tundiath Homes. It is an unobtrusive well furnished and spacious hotel with an exceptionally homely feel. The rooms are nice looking and well maintained. You enjoy lots of privacy as the common area is separate from the individual bedrooms. Thundiath Homes is perfect for families and large groups who are visiting the temple town for pilgrimage or for visiting their friends or relative who reside in the vicinity.
There is a truly home away from home feel about the place and you get to like it immediately. The furniture and styling of the hotel is typically Kerala style and is comfortable and functional. One can avail the rooms on a daily or weekly basis. The rates are competitive and this is the best deal you can get in the vicinity where there are not many options except a slightly upscale Malakkarethu House, a resort style homestay from the same promoters.
The joy of stepping out and reaching the Aranmula Parthasarathy Temple within a slight stroll is wonderful. The temple is a highly revered one in the region and is reputed to be one of the ‘Divya Desams’ (the 180 revered temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu, one of the primary pantheons of the Hindu belief). The temple is dedicated to Lord Sree. Krishna (Vishnu) who is in the form of the ‘Parthasarathy’. Partha is of course, Arjuna and Lord Sree Krishna is the ‘Sarathy’ or Charioteer. This refers to the moment in the epic Mahabaratha where Lord Sree Krishna delivers the ‘Bhagavad Gita’, (the song of the lord) which is a major philosophical and religious scripture of the Hindu religion.
Aranmula is, of course, famous for ‘Aranmula Kannadi’ the famed metal mirrors made at this town. There are also many places of tourist interests that one can visit while staying at the Tundiath House.
