Once only known to the Vaishnavite Hindu community for its 2,000-year old\u00a0Janardana Swami Temple, today it is a peaceful getaway for the traveller looking for\u00a0serenity. The temple&#8217;s proximity to the Papanasam beach is auspicious &#8211; devotees take a\u00a0sacred dip in the waters here to wash away sins. The region is also famed for various\u00a0Ayurvedic therapies.
