Siva Sannidhi Accommodation Facility



To read an earlier posting on Siva Sannidhi, before the construction of the new annexe building, go to this link here.


I have received emails from readers eager to view the completed new annexe at Siva Sannidhi. I made this original posting of the new annexe, at this link here but now construction is complete and the new accommodation annexe which has 39 rooms is now fully operational. 

I am posting the below photographs to give an idea of the rooms and the facility. All rooms have two single cots, tiled floors, mosquito net windows, fan, attached western style bathroom and a small dressing room with sink. Bedding i.e. mattress, top sheet and pillows are standard in all rooms. 

The annexe is very quiet, comfortable, a two minute walk from Ramana Ashram and shops, and most importantly has a magnificent darshan of Arunachala. Accommodation rates are very reasonable and except over Deepam, long stays are allowed. The week of Deepam is always heavily oversubscribed, so the facility has no rooms available at that time. Siva Sannidhi has a dining hall in which food (Andhra Style, medium heat) is served three times a day). 

The manager and workers at Siva Sannidhi are very friendly and helpful and the facility which attracts a pilgrim type visitor does not have a commercial or worldly atmosphere. The new building at Siva Sannidhi is by far and away one of the most pleasant and convenient accommodation facilities located in the Ramana Nagar side of Tiruvannamalai. 

Arunachala Grace represents Siva Sannidhi as booking agent. So for more information or to make a reservation, please use our email contact at the top left side of this page.

Meenakshi Ammal said...

For queries and/or reservations please call Siva Sannidhi on their land line at (0)4175-235089 or the manager Mr. Ramakrishna on his mobile at (0)9789378779.


Unknown said...

Both the numbers given by Meenakshi Ammal are not going thru'. Please help provide the right contact numbers / information regarding the room availability and payment details.

Meenakshi Ammal said...

Dear Janaki T:

I tried both numbers from my mobile phone and they both work. Remember you are calling Tamil Nadu, so if you are calling from out of state please make sure to include the proper code at the beginning of the landline number

I have updated the mobile number. So should work whether you are calling from outside Tamil Nadu or even outside India.

Hope it works out.

Landline: 04175-235089
Mobile at +919789378779.

Hope it works out.

Is this accommodation free

Meenakshi Ammal said...

No. The accommodation is not free. A donation is requested. From what I understand from readers' feedback there is an expectation that the donation should be over a certain amount. For this reason Arunachala Grace asks that pilgrims get in touch direct with Siva Sannidhi to discuss reservations and charges. Contact details in above comment.

how much distances from railway station exactly shiva sanidhi located

Meenakshi Ammal said...

The railway station is the other side of Tiruvannamalai. You would need to take an auto rickshaw from the railway station to Siva Sannidhi . . . probably about 6 kms. Siva Sannidhi is located at Ramana Nagar where all the Ashrams are situated and 2 kms from the Big Temple.

Unknown said...

Its a very very great job by siva sannidhi management that how they treat with everyvperson with kindfully,by providing every thingg
free and well maintained rooms with very good staff..

Sir do have car parking facilities

Meenakshi Ammal said...

The main facility Siva Sannidhi Building (which is in the photographs of this posting) does not have dedicated car parking. However Siva Sannidhi has a number of modern annexe buildings all located at Ramana Nagar that have facilities. Just mention when you call and book accommodation that you need car parking facilities.

This siva sanidhi trust very commercial trust this trust people behavior very badly in case of any devotee visited at siva sanidhi trust for accommodation purpose first they are asking how match donation do you donated then only they are given the room other wise they need not given the room normal people lot of suffering for accommodation purpose and every devotee this points observe and take the necessary action for this trust behavior, trust means help the people this is not a trust this is purely commercial purpose established.

vemulapalli lokeswararao said...

arunachalam is the most memorable place to see once, we enjoyed alot, sivasannidhi is right place to stay, tiffen lunch dinner is super, you may stay only at sivasannidhi, this is my opinion

Unknown said...

Very nice to view all the feedback.

Unknown said...

Excellent useful information

Meenakshi Ammal said...

To those requesting information about the location of the Siva Sannidhi. It is a few minutes walk from Ramana Ashram. So if coming from Bus Stand get yourself to Ramana Ashram .... everyone will point the way to it ...

Once at the ashram cross the road with the Ganesha Temple on the corner right of street. Walk down the street, which is the Post Office Road. Take first left on the road. There are several tall buildings on this lane. Siva Sannidhi reception Hall and Office is located 5-6 Buildings on the left side of the lane.

Hope it works out.

GOOD ACCOMDATION WITH FOOD

Anonymous said...

I went shiva sannidhi, from 1st minute it self they are asking how much u pay. If we say 500/600. Sorry sir u need to pay atleast 1116/+ or 3116/- . We asked for a room for just 3 hours. But simply said its not possible.

I asked them is it charitable trust or private. They simply said its private... Soo my humble request is to change the name charitable trust to private hotel. Please don't bother the people from long distance like us. If they are charging 3000/+ we can choose accommodate near by temple only. No need to come from station to siva sannidhi paying 400+ auto charges.
