Mr. Rajiv Gandhi is mgr. of above hotel and will help you out immensely!

I stayed at the Sterling Arunai Anantha Hotel in Tiruvannamalai, India. It is very close to famous Temples that are worth visiting. Busiest times to visit Temples are on week ends. You have to take your shoes off, but it is okay to wear socks, as the stone ground can get very hot. If you have expensive shoes, you can pay to have them checked in for yourself.
