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.

Siva Sannidhi Annexe

The new annexe at Siva Sannidhi will be completed by Deepam and will be welcoming guests after this December 2nd, 2012. The new facility will offer a quiet respite close to Arunachala and is also very conveniently located at a two minute walk from Ramana Ashram.

The new annexe adds an additional forty rooms to Siva Sannidhi, of which twenty rooms will be available to outside guests. As you can see from the below photographs, painting and finishing work is still underway. Each room has two single cots, an attached western style bathroom and a small alcove with wash basin. 

The rooms are bright and cheery and have a very nice cool tiled floor. The rooms are spread out over three floors. The second floor is more suitable for groups who need a large area for meetings. 

The direct south view of Arunachala from the roof of Siva Sannidhi is spectacular.
