The lanes running from the bus stand to the temple entrance are thick with vendors on any busy day. You'll find prasadam sweets, fresh coconuts, flower garlands for offering, and simple South Indian snacks — idli, dosa, bajji, and boiled groundnuts. Everything is cheap. The stalls do brisk business in the mornings and thin out by early afternoon, so eat while things are fresh. Vendors selling puja items and those selling food operate side by side, giving the street a lively, purposeful atmosphere.
