The Maharashtrian tourists who are religious can opt for the professionally designed Smukti Spiritual Tours that provide tourists the spiritual tour of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Realising that the essence of Maharashtra is strongly rooted in religion, Smukti has recently developed a ‘Temple Tour’ that will take 10 days to provide not only temple devotion but also hassle free travel. This meticulously planned trip gets the attendees to visit more than 12 ancient temples including the famous Ramanathaswamy temple at Rameswaram and the famous and magnificent Brihadeeswara temple at Thanjavur which is a World Heritage Site.
The tour route has been strategically designed to cover the travellers from Mumbai, Pune, Solapur and nearby regions with possible buffers to board the van. Group pick-up from Chennai Railway Station starts this journey by providing a two-way AC 3-Tier train travelling with guidance and supervision; it ends in Trivandrum before returning to Mumbai. This way, the participants can be oblivious of the numerous inconveniences that they might face when undertaking a journey in search of spirituality.
For Maharashtrian devotees the tour encompasses the majority of the highly sacred temples in Southern India starting from Rameswaram Which has Ramanathaswamy another one amongst the twelve Jyotirlingas. It is also important to mention about the Brihadeeswara Temple at Thanjavur, which is a perfect example of the Chola architecture and religious construction. Other places visited during the tour includes the srirangam temple which is one of the divya desam temples in trichy city and the madurai meenakshi amman temple which has great architecture, spiritual feeling. On each temple visit, there are pujaris who explain the historic and religious importance of these places and thus add value to the entire trip.
Based on the understanding that their clientele is composed of elders, Smukti guarantees that all the facilities made in the accommodation are friendly to elders, for instance, wheelchair friendly, lifts and ramps accessible. The lodging selected for the locations offer comfort to the travellers but at the same time, do not lose the religious aspect of the trip. Also worth mentioning is that in regards to culinary preferences, the food is Maharashtrian style and organisers make sure their guests enjoy pure vegetarian meals if necessary. All these factors are cascaded with an emphasis on the health and well-being, which enriches the journey as a whole.
Some of the special considerations that Smukti Spiritual Tours follow include; It is our policy to ensure that our tours are environmentally friendly as much as possible and culturally enriching as much as possible. Their work is in contact with local pujaris, the establishment of relations with local hotels, restaurants, shops, and other organisations, which is connected with the development of the temple economy and support of local residents. This is to guarantee that tourism has positive impacts to it and the general spiritual and economic well-being of the area.
