Set in the idyllic backdrop of the Brahmagiri hills, Thirunelli
charms you not only with its pristine, scenic beauty and the chattering
streams of the Papanasini spring, but also the serene, calm ambience
of the Vishnu temple in the valley.

idol of the presiding deity of the temple - Sree Vishnu, the Preserver
and the second member of the Trinity in Hindu mythology.
Even the very names of the hills and streams of Thirunelli bear a
divine charm - Brahmagiri, the hills of Brahma; Papanasini, the destroyer
of sins and so on. Considered a destination of immense beauty and
drawn by the divine power of it's deity, visitors stream to Thirunelli
throughout the year except during heavy monsoons
