It is also close to Srivilliputhur, so a trip can double as a temple visit. Tell us your purpose and the time you must be back, and we will plan the route and the waiting time.

What to see in Sivakasi
Fireworks and printing industry
The town is the centre of the trade. Factory visits usually need an appointment, so arrange them in advance.
Srivilliputhur
Home of the Andal Temple, whose tall gopuram is the emblem of the Tamil Nadu government.
Thiruthangal
A Vishnu temple near Sivakasi, a Divya Desam that fits easily into a half-day.
Plan the trip
- Business day: leave early, keep the car for your meetings and return in the evening.
- Festival shopping: go on a weekday, when shops are quieter.
- Temple and town: combine Sivakasi with Srivilliputhur in a single long day.
Good to know before you go
- Fireworks shops and factories operate under safety rules. Do not carry fireworks in the car without the shop packing them properly, and ask the seller about transport rules.
- Traffic increases in the weeks before Deepavali.
Which car to book
A sedan suits a couple or one to four business travellers. An SUV is better for a family or if you are bringing goods back, and a Tempo Traveller for groups.
