KARUR Top 10 Tourist Places | Karur Mariamman Temple | Karur Tourism
#FullMooNTvExplorer
The town formed a part of the traditional Chera and Chola empires and has a number of exquisitely sculpted temples. Karuvurar born in medieval Karur, is one among the nine devotees who sung the divine Music Thiruvichaippa, which is the ninth Thirumurai. He is the single largest composer among the nine authors of Thiruvichaippa. He lived during the reign of the Chola king Raja Raja Chola I. In addition to the Pasupatheeswarar Siva temple, there is a Vishnu temple at Thiruvithuvakkodu suburb of Karur, sung by famous Kulasekaraazhvaar (7th-8th century). The same temple is presumably mentioned in epic Silappadikaram as Adaha maadam Ranganathar whose blessings Cheran Senguttuvan sought before his north Indian expedition.

Paani Puri Shawarma - Best Plate Shawarma & Juicy BBQ Chicken Wings At Grill Nights - Karur

Paani Puri Shawarma - Best Plate Shawarma & Juicy BBQ Chicken Wings At Grill Nights - Karur
Google Maps Location;
Grill nights is a franchise that has been started in Karur by two youngsters. Situated in the lighthouse round corner area next to the LVB ATM, Grill Night serves dishes like the Paani Puri shawarma, different varieties of shawarma, barbecue chicken dishes, Chinese dishes ., etc
The Paani Puri shawarma is the shawarma meat that is stuffed into the Puri and filled with Mayonnaise .... a different dish that is a must-try.
The plate shawarma that I tried also was fabulous.., the chicken meat was finely minced to a paste and it tasted awesome, this too is a definite to-try dish.
The Bbq chicken wings had a mild spiciness to it and were very juicy.., dipping the chicken wings in Mayonnaise and tasting it was heaven.
The noodles too which was Mexican noodles were good.., they had a different taste, which I liked.
The only downside was the biryani which did not convince me and I don’t recommend it.
Grill Nights is a place of shawarmas and barbecues and I strongly recommend you to try them and find out for yourself.

SriLankan Food Fest At Karur KRV Meridian - Unlimited Buffet At 499 INR Per Head
#itaste #krvmeridian #srilankanfoodfest
Srilankan Food Fest At Karur KRV Meridian - Unlimited Buffet At 499 INR Per Head
Google Maps Location;
A Srilankan Food Fest was held for 3 days at Karur KRV Meridian hotel. Costing 499 INR per head, the Srilankan food fest was a spread of many food items from the Srilankan menu…
Though few food items were not Srilankan, Justice was done to much Srilankan food that had its original flavours….
The welcome drink was a tender coconut and a kamban kool ( Pearl millet gruel)
Though the kamban kool is not a part of the Srilankan food it tasted good.
The buffet started off with a herbal soup which was a simple soup with lots of coriander, mint and curry leaves… it tasted ok
Then to start there were sambol scotched boiled eggs, fish patties, squid fry and banana flower fry. The fish patties and the squid fry tasted excellent. The banana flower fry tasted like a normal pakkoda.
Then there was puttu which was ragi puttu.. the ragi puttu is usually not seen in Srilankan.. people there prefer puttu made of maida or red rice. This puttu with a channa curry is more of a Kerala dish.
Then there was brown rice which is also not a Srilankan menu.., people consume red rice in Srilanka.. there is a variety of rice called the red naadu which is mostly used along with samba variety and keeri samba variety. They also had this yellow flavoured rice which tasted good...
There were a few vegetable gravy dishes like drumstick gravy, mixed vegetables gravy, and mango curry.
The coconut stew chicken curry and lamb curry were very excellent .. the chicken meat was so tender and tasted awesome.
The prawn curry was also good.
They had coin parotta which you don’t see in Srilanka.., They could have kept the Srilankan coconut roti which is the most consumed dish in Srilanka…
At the live counter, they had appam with coconut sambol, seeni sambol, nethili sambol.. the appam was more of Indian style, because the Srilankan appam is crisper .. the seeni sambol was exactly like the Srilankan seeni sambol…they also had kothu parotta in the live counter and it also tasted good.
For dessert, there was wattalappam and pancake. The wattalappam was extremely good and had the original Srilankan flavours. The pancake was stuffed with coconut and jaggery stuffing and topped with honey which was also superb…

கரூரில் மந்தி பிரியாணி, எங்கே கிடைக்கும் என்று பார்க்கலாம் வாங்க - MANDHI BIRYANI IN KARUR
#itaste #mandibiryani #karur
கரூரில் மந்தி பிரியாணி, எங்கே கிடைக்கும் என்று பார்க்கலாம் வாங்க - MANDHI BIRYANI IN KARUR
Google Maps Location ;
Finding authentic Mandhi Biryani or Hyderabad Biryani in Karur used to be a difficult task. However, Arfa Chicken Park has made it easy for foodies to enjoy these dishes along with other delicious chicken delicacies. The restaurant boasts a fantastic ambiance and has several halls to accommodate customers.
The Arab-style dining hall with low tables and chairs is perfect for a unique dining experience. There's also a party room with disco lights, a waiter calling bells, and cell phone charging points at each table.
While there are many dishes to choose from, we highly recommend the chicken Mandi biryani, chicken Hyderabad biryani, Ustadi kebab, chicken shawarma, KFC fried chicken, fried momos, and mojitos. The chicken Mandi biryani is a standout dish with its flavorful long-grain basmati rice and juicy chicken coated in the perfect masala. The Hyderabadi biryani is also excellent, although we would have preferred more biryani masala in the rice.
The Ustadi kebab served on a skewer, is a must-try dish. The chicken is juicy, and the roasted burned flavor on the outside is mouth-watering. The KFC fried chicken is another favorite, with its freshly cut meat and accurate KFC taste.
The chicken shawarma is a unique take on the classic dish, with the chicken from the kebab stick minced and rolled into shawarma. The charcoal-burned chicken taste adds a new dimension to the dish. The fried momos and mojitos are also excellent choices.
To finish off your meal, the sizzling brownie is a treat. Watching the sauce being poured onto the hot pan in front of you adds an extra element of excitement. The soft brownie, combined with the sauce and ice cream, is simply fantastic.
Overall, Arfa Chicken Park is an excellent place to enjoy a satisfying meal with your family. It's a boon to the foodies of Karur.

பஸ்ல பிரியாணியா? - A Bus Themed Restaurant In Karur Serving Biryani & Other Tasty Non-Veg Dishes
Google Maps Location Link;
Biryani in a bus....? Yes, you heard me right .. the first BUS THEMED RESTAURANT in Karur. A real bus that’s modified as a restaurant. You could sit inside the bus or on the rooftop.
This bus-themed restaurant is located in Thanthonimalai, Karur. Just opposite to police head office. Location link above...
A great idea with nice food .. the inside of the bus is spacious and looks decent the only downside that I felt is the heat... since the bus is standing in the open sun for the whole day and with no ventilation, the inside of the bus was an oven.., while discussing with the owners they were saying that they will be installing air conditioners soon... so when it happens, then sitting inside the bus would be classy...
The rooftop is completely the opposite... with the cool breeze, open dining on the roof would be an amazing experience ...
There is also a little projector on the rooftop with mild music... the ambiance is just great...
The food was good... I ordered the mutton biryani, grilled chicken, shawarma, chicken noodles, and chicken chukka... though I did not like the biryani and the chicken noodles...the grilled chicken was excellent ... the shawarma was also good... the chicken sukka would have been amazing with White rice...
On a whole, a great place to dine ... the ambiance of a real bus is the start here and if you want to experience it .. then you have to try it out...

Other dishes like the mutton chukka and naatu koli chukka was good, the spiciness was a little less to my taste.

“வஞ்சிப் புறமதில் அலைக்கும் கல்லென் பொருநை“ என்று புறநானூற்றுப் பாடலில் புகழப்பெற்ற ஊர் வஞ்சி எனும் கரூவூராகும்.
இந்த கரூவூரை இரும்பொறை வழியில் வந்த சங்கால சேர மன்னர்கள் தலைமையிடமாகக் கொண்டு ஆட்சி செய்துள்ளனர். கி.பி. ஏழாம் நூற்றாண்டின் பிற்பகுதியில் பாண்டியர்கள் கரூரை தங்களின் ஆட்சிப் பகுதிக்கு உட்படுத்தியுள்ளனர். கி.பி. ஒன்பதாம் நூற்றாண்டில் கரூவூரை சோழர்கள் தன்வசமாக்கி தலைநகராகக் கொண்டு ஆட்சி செய்துள்ளனர்.
கி.பி. முதலாம் நூற்றாண்டில் செல்வ வளமிக்க நாடாக விளங்கியதாகவும், சிறப்பான வணிகமும் நடைபெற்றதாகவும் கல்வெட்டுகள் மூலம் நாம் அறிய இயலுகிறது. கங்கைக் கரையிலிருந்து கன்னியாகுமரி வரை செல்லும் தட்சிணபதம் என்னும் தெற்குப் பெருவழியும், மேலக்கடற்கரையிலிருந்து காவிரிப் பூம்பட்டிணத்திற்கு செல்லும் இராஜகேசரிப் பெருவழி என்ற கொங்கப் பெருவழியும் சந்திக்கும் இடமாக கரூர் அமைந்திருந்ததால் கரூர் கூடுதல் சிறப்பு பெற்றிருந்துள்ளது.
கி.பி. நான்காம் நூற்றாண்டு முதல் கி.பி. ஆறாம் நூற்றாண்டு முடிய கரூர் பகுதியின் வரலாற்றை அறிவதற்கு கல்வெட்டுச் சான்றுகள் இல்லையென்றாலும், கி.பி. ஏழாம் நூற்றாண்டு முதல் கி.பி. 17 ஆம் நூற்றாண்டு வரை கரூர் பகுதி வரலாற்றை அறிய வரலாற்றுச் சான்றுகள் நிறையவே கிடைத்துள்ளன. பெருங்கற்காலச் சின்னங்கள் கரூரைச் சுற்றியுள்ள பகுதிகளில் இருப்பதை வைத்து. வரலாற்றுக் காலத்திற்கு முன்பிருந்தே வாழ்விலும், பண்பாட்டிலும் மேம்பட்ட மக்கள் வாழ்ந்த பகுதியாக கரூர் விளங்கியிருக்கக்கூடும் என்று யூகிக்க முடிகிறது.
மைசூரின் ஹைதர் அலியும் கரூரை வெற்றி கொண்டு தன்வசமாக்கி 18 ஆம் நூற்றாண்டில் தனது இராஜியத்தின் பகுதியாக்கியுள்ளார்.
கி.பி. 1783 ஆம் ஆண்டில் ஏப்ரல் மாதம் திப்பு சுல்தான் ஆளுகைக்கு உட்பட்ட கரூவூர் கோட்டையை கைப்பற்றுவதற்காக, தாராபுரத்திலிருந்து ஆட்சி செய்து வந்த மேஜர் மேக்லியாட் என்ற ஆங்கிலேயர் கரூவூர் மீது போர் தொடுத்தார். அப்போரின் இறுதியில் கரூவூர் ஆங்கிலேயர் வசமானது. அப்போரில் படைப்பிரிவு தலைவர் ஒருவரும், 19 ஐரோப்பியர்களும் கொல்லப்பட்டனர், 30 சிப்பாய்கள் படுகாயமுற்றனர்.
கரூவூர் கோட்டை கைப்பற்றியதை நினைவு கூறும் வகையிலும், இறந்துபட்ட போர் வீரர்களின் நினைவாகவும் கரூர்-ஈசநத்தம் சாலையில் உள்ள இராயனூரில் ஆங்கிலேயர்களால் நினைவுத் தூண் நிறுவப்பட்டு, அதில் கீழ்கண்ட ஆங்கில எழுத்துக்களில் கல்லெழுத்து பொறிப்புகள் செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளன.
