Kumbakonam started gaining popularity when it became the Medieval Cholas’ capital. Today, it is famous for being home to many Hindu temples, earning the nickname “temple town”. As a hub for European education, it is also culturally known as the “Cambridge of South India”. Mahamaham, a festival that occurs every 12 years, has put the city on the map. This event draws thousands of pilgrims for spiritual cleansing. It is believed that taking a dip in the sacred Mahamaham tank can wipe away one’s sins. An ancient site, this tank is regarded as the confluence of Indian river goddesses Ganga, Godavari, Kaveri, Krishna, Narmada, Sarasvati, Sarayu, Tungabhadra, and Yamuna. Whether you are on a pilgrimage or vacation, ensure that you have a cozy place to stay during your trip. Check out the best homestays in Kumbakonam, India, below.
