1. Minimum Rs. 100/- entry fee per person.2. Not getting Prasad of God.3. Camera not allowed.4. Closing time 7 pm. But, Seva Entry time 8 AM to 8 PM. So funny.5. Extra Dhaga Rs.20/P.6. Laddu Rs. 100/P7. The temple authorities will not give Prasad. Only The bath water and one Photo will give.Going on a good business point.

Sripuram The Golden Temple was built in a short span of SEVEN years. It was inaugurated on August 24, 2007. The consecration ceremony was witnessed by thousands of devotees. Since then, the temple has attracted hundreds of thousands of devotees; often breaching the 1 lakh mark on special occasions. The temple has also changed the face of Thiruamalaikodi village and the nearby town - Vellore. In the coming years, the temple envisages to create a positive influence on the society and ultimately bring about a drastic change.Sripuram is aptly termed as ‘The Spiritual Oasis’, attracting people from different races, religions and all walks of life, from across the globe, creating peace and joy.

Huge temple complex. Although seems a little commerical rather than divine experience. They will make you walk a lot to get to see the temple which is unnecessary. Mobiles and footwear stands are available for a nominal price of rupees 1 and 3 respectively. Would recommend going in the evening to enjoy the lighting. The main temple needs a little polishing as it has lost its sheen. Also at few places it didnt seem like gold was used to cover the temple. It is just some kind of gold paint or gold spray. Cant say for sure. Worth visiting once.

Dont waste your time here. nothing but a small gold platted temple. fully money minded place. they worshiping a man as god. fully brainless peoples believed him as god. its not a place for Hindus. you have to walk 15 minutes to see the small temple. they will not allow to see near also. you can waste your 2 hours time here. while exit from temple, full of shops by temple trust, only plus is they serve food in lunch time to all. dont buy special entry ticket. its total waste of cost. 45 minutes once you can get bus from main bus stand.

Golden Temple Vellore complex inside the Thirupuram spiritual park is situated at the foot of a small range of green hills at Thirumalaikodi (or simply Malaikodi) Vellore in Tamil Nadu, India. It is 120 km from Tirupati, 145 km from Chennai, 160 km from Pondicherry and 200 km from Bengaluru. The Maha Kumbhabhishekam or consecration of the temple and its chief deity, Sri Lakshmi Narayani or Maha Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, was held on 24 August 2007, and devotees from all religions and backgrounds are welcome to visit.The salient feature of Thirupuram is the Lakshmi Narayani temple whose Vimanam and Ardha Mandapam is covered with pure gold, housing the deity Sri Lakshmi Narayani (female consort/wife of Vishnu Narayana). The temple is located on 100 acres of land and has been constructed by the Vellore-based charitable trust, Sri Narayani Peedam, headed by its spiritual leader Sri Sakthi Amma also known as Narayani Amma.The temple with its gold covering, has intricate work done by artisans specialising in temple art using gold. Every single detail was manually created, including converting the gold bars into gold foils and then mounting the foils on copper. Gold foil from 9 layers to 10 layers has been mounted on the etched copper plates. Every single detail in the temple art has significance from the Vedas.Sripurams design features a star-shaped path (Sri chakra), positioned in the middle of the lush green landscape, with a length of over 1.8 km. As one walks along this starpath to reach the temple in the middle, one can also read various spiritual messages -- such as the gift of the human birth itself, and the value of spirituality -- along the way.

A beautiful, ornate, pristinely golden temple that is unlike anything you have ever seen. A must visit temple. Beautiful golden temple is maintained very neat and tidy.There were priests, with vedic knowledge, conducting various ceremonies pertaining to the temple poojas etc.This temple was crowded.This is a very beautifully designed Hindu temple with lovely surrounding and plenty of parking. Temple area may be confusing for first time visitors as temple has multiple floors. Definitely worth a visit.Peaceful place to visit. Nice ambience. Good to go there with family. Should never miss a place like this.

Simply mind-blowing aerial view of Vellore Golden Temple of Mahalakshmi.• Enwrapped with 1500 Kg of pure gold foil in fifteen layers and surrounded by a star-shaped pathway, the temple itself is a sight to behold. Hundreds of artisans and craftsmen took six years to build this astounding golden marvel.• Vellore Golden Temple is popularly known as Sripuram Sri Lakshmi Narayani Golden Temple. It is said to be the largest golden temple in India.• Sri Lakshmi Narayani or Maha Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth in Hinduism, is the chief deity of the Vellore Golden Temple. The temple is remarkable for its intricately carved pillars and human-made sculptures.Hospital*********The Sri Narayani Hospital & Research Centre is a general hospital located near the Sripuram temple complex and is also run by the Sri Narayani Peedam Charitable Trust.

I am a very religious person. I love to go templeBut if you go here you will not at all feel as if you have come to temple. Here everything is business. Everywhere there will be a photo of a mad man. Yes mad man because if you on every of God you will find this man. He has no rights to stand a along with God. We come to get blessing of God not to see that mad man. Please avoid going here.

Must visit tourist attraction in Vellore. Special entry ticket INR100/-.To reach main golden Temple you need to walk star shaped path which is exhausting.you may perform special Puja, laxmi Puja , Deepam Puja ranging INR 10/100/500. Temple photo, souvenir, literature is on sale in different shops inside premises. Commercial activities are more and less like a religious place.photography not allowed which is a disappointment for Instagram generation.

Beautiful temple complex near vellore. Architecture is one of the best and very calm place.All the things are maintained beautifully. The cleanliness they maintained even having growing no of pilgrims coming there is one thing to be praised. The complex is very beautiful and the green belt they have around the star shaped temple is extraordinary. The green belt is very dense and nicely managed. Occasionally we can see insects of vibrant colours on the pradakshina paths. The main temple is very attractive and the lights a d chandeliers are worth seeing.

The temple is very very good... Everyone need to visit.1. Pls go early in the first half, we need to walk along the star to reach temple in centre.2. Walking along the star is awesome, take time and walk.3. The temple inside is full of gold color, like mini amritsar.4. Ticket sales are 100rs, and 200 rs per head.5. No phones, cameras allowed inside. Also we have to walk bare foot.Counters are available to deposit foot ware , phones etc.....Also inside venkateshwara swamy temple is there...The only draw back is there is no arrangement for parking car. It has to be parked on roadsides outside the temple.FOR SURE VISIT TEMPLE... a clean and neat temple.

Very nice, calm and holy place. The temple looks awesome especially in evening. But you cant view the beautiful Golden Temple from the outer gate. You cant capture the beauty of the temple because Camera and Mobile phones are not allowed inside the campus. These should be kept in counters for ₹3.00 each. Also keep shoes of all of your partners together for ₹5.00. If you want to take photographs you have to pay ₹150.00 for each printed photos. The camera man will pick up your photo and set the temple as its background. Must visit this temple.

A recently built temple. Temple is located centrally inside a star shaped pathway. This star shaped pathway is well maintained and its mesmerizing to walk on it. You will find some sculptures and plantation on both side of walkway.As per illustrations inside the campus, 70 kg of gold has been used yo build this temple.It seems that temple management are not able to generate enough revenue by donation to run. There are many initiatives you will get to know when you walk inside the temple, which are targeted to collect money from devotees.Scenic beauty. Spiritual environment.

Should enter the temple within the time limits or else they will make you pay money for special Pass. I have no idea why there is special Pass, just to make money. The volunteers shout like fish Market to invite people to take special Pass, may be they have commision out of that. Once u enter the temple, it doesnt look like temple, but commercial ads of a person wearing Swami dress saying to donate for the temple and also they have put thought for the day straight from Google. They say the temple is constructed with gold, but the gold color has been faded from whichever so called gold I have seen.

Absolutely a great visual treat. Nicely maintained.My experience with the staff was not friendly.Id just go for free Darshan instead of 100 or 250 or 1000.You can park your car inside the temple.They try to oversell, dont fall for it. I felt most of them are not worth the value theyre offering.Usually rating for a temple should be 5 out of 5. However, I felt this temple is more commercial. Thats why 4 out of 5. Otherwise, its a very good place to visit.

Golden Temple is one of the mist popular choice for visitors. Whoever comes to vellor, I think no one miss the chance visit there. Its a historical heritage of vellore. Few things need to remember that-1. Inside the temple you cannot wear shoes, you have to drop your shoes in a separate counter with token2. Camera, mobile phone, any bag is not allowed during entrance the main temple3. There is a public relations office where you can share your comments4. Full types of security5. Drinking water, sanitation all things are available

Nice place to visit once, looks entirely planned to make money, only 100 or 250 darshanam people will reach temple early, water surrounding the temple is dirty and even fountain water and stagnant water in front of temple is filled with coins and photos of people. Temple looks great covered with real gold and 70kg idol of Goddess Lakshmi is really good to see.
