“Had a wonderful peaceful stay. We liked the way they have renovated an old Brahmin house into this serene peaceful stay.
Well-ventilated & lit house, rising to early mornings with the sounds of temple bells was very divine.
Mrs. Mukesh and Mrs. Megi were warmful hosts & were of great felt. Didn’t feel absolutely out of place. Food was homely.
My suggestion would be to work a little more on the food menu. Extra menu for breakfast & evening tea time would look great.
Overall it was a great stay. Thank you!!" Lalitha Chirag, 16 - 17 Oct.

“Enjoyed the stay at Mangala. Though brief, I got to experience the village and village life around the property — just a glimpse of it. The property is beautiful — it’s tough to maintain it this way — combining traditional aspects with modern conveniences. I am particularly thankful to the staff — Madhan, Meiji, Mukesh and Manimekalai amma for looking after me so well and attending to my every need. The food was simple but tasty adding to the overall experience. A quiet break from the hustle and bustle of the city." Gangapriya, 6 - 8 Oct.
“The Bliss”
We experienced
utmost bliss;
In everyday life
We realise what we miss;
​
Mind in a mess
becomes clear
The loving gestures
Sharper than a spear
That touched our heart
Which is telling not to
Get apart;
​
Feeling of joy to the
Zenith extent
Being with ourselves
Creating happiness
“Patient”
​
We found the treasure
of love;
Carrying the moments
that forever glow;
​
We became family
We became family
of compassion and
Saw in each of the
Staff the devotion;
​
For the sake;
Nothing has been done
Heartfully; every
action of yours was
a real victory of
life living out loud.
" Dr. Asha, Aug. 19 - 20.
"This was an experience of a lifetime!
The property was absolutely beautiful, but what was even better was the hospitality! Meji, her mother in law, and Mukesh were extremely warm and went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable. Our meals at Mangala were amazing too. I’ll never forget the location: Thirupugalur. The temple view and quaint village streets were serene. Just know that the property, surrounded by farms and forests, does have a few insects here and there. If that doesn’t bother you, this is an amazing place!" Anmol Malik, April 2023.
"Cute place, great staff and excellent food." Sudha Reddy, January 2023.
"Food was amazing!" Sharon Suares, January 2023.
"Hi! Everything is great — just finished lunch. Delicious and such warm and nice people. Had a lovely breakfast and am on my way to the temple - everything is great... Meji is awesome!" Avanthika, January 2023.
"An elegant and discreet little gem located in the heart of an authentic village, tastefully decorated and impeccably clean. The view of the temple and its basin had a lot of charm. Our hosts were incredibly hospitable and kind, always taking great care of us. The meals were delicious. Absolute comfort. We hope to have the opportunity to come back to enjoy the calm of the place and the village life." Caroline Parvaty Dubois, January 2023.
"We loved our stay - thank you so much for everything! The food was fantastic, the hospitality was amazing too." Arundathi Krishna, January 2023.
"Thank you, Ma'am, for the pleasant and enjoyable stay provided to us at Mangala Heritage. It is an experience we will cherish for a long time. Our sincere appreciation to the Mangala family for their loving care and cheerful service. Please pass on our sentiments and hearty thanks to them." K Natarajan, December 2022
"The overall experience was brilliant. It was so different to the usual holiday experiences. The atmosphere was homely in a way that we felt welcome and comfortable almost instantly. The rustic feel and the mix of modern living with a rustic rural environment was so outstanding. Please do not change anything. Loved the Luxunlock villa experience? Give us a testimonial we can share with the world.: I do not know if this is the kind of experience for all… But for travellers like our family who just take things as they come (with some minimum requirements met) we would say this is a mind blowing experience. Our children enjoyed the peace calm and serene atmosphere so much that they longed to go back to Mangala after the outings to some sightseeing places. The staff are Soooo welcoming and courteous that we felt like we had come to a relatives place on holiday. It reminded me of my childhood holidays….. I will not specify the details as it is for the people who visit to experience. Conclusion: Wonderful Experience." Ramesh TA, November 2022
"A real charming place , we had a wonderful time . A true cultural experience." Lata Madhu, October 2022
"The Mangala Guesthouse is an aesthetic delight. Thoughtfully and tastefully restored, it offers swings in the inner courtyard and comfortably cushioned thinnai/front porch viewing of the street and temple just beyond. Shifting washes of light on temple gopuram and tank gradually induce calm and gratitude. Offering speciality regional cuisine, this place also pampers you with friendly service.
Surrounded by rare temples - from Divya Desham to Shakthi stahl to a Saraswathi kovil the Mangala Guesthouse is ideally located for those on a pilgrimage. It’s also a great place for reading and creative work. We’d love to visit again." Priya Sarukkai Chabria, August 2022
