Group pickup
Forty five pilgrims board at one point at half past four. For a group from out of town, the KSRTC suburban stand on Irwin Road is easy to find and has intercity buses pulling in every few minutes. Luggage goes in the hold; a small bag with water, snacks and medicines stays with each person. The coach takes about ten hours to Mel Sittamoor with halts. A head count is done before the coach moves.

Group breakfast
Breakfast for the coach has been ordered at a large hotel in Channapatna, on the old road off the expressway exit, where forty five plates can come out quickly. If the meal ends early, the government lacquerware complex in town has 32 lathes turning toys. The town stands at about 739 m, so the morning is still cool. Forty minutes, a roll call, and the coach heads for the city edge and NICE Road.

Permit check
The coach stops at the border near Hosur for the Tamil Nadu permit and road tax; cameras now check the number plate. The pilgrims use restrooms at a highway hotel with coach parking. Hosur is about 306 km west of Chennai by road. Chandra Choodeswarar is the hill temple of the town. Fifteen minutes, with a head count, before NH44 to Krishnagiri. The coordinator can collect toll receipts from the driver here for the group accounts.

Short halt
Tea at Krishnagiri is taken on the highway side, away from the town centre. The coach then turns onto NH77 east. The Shree Parshwa Padmavathi Shaktipeet, a Jain tirth near the highway, suits a Jain pilgrim group with fifteen spare minutes. Summer here runs March to June, so water bottles are refilled. Head count before moving. Rocky hills ring the town, with an old Vijayanagara fort on the summit. Mango crates can ride in the hold in season.

Lunch for the group
A group lunch for forty five is booked at Tiruvannamalai. The driver stays on the outer roads, since NH77 and NH38 cross here and the centre is busy. On a full moon the walk round the sacred hill draws a million or more, and a coach should not come through then. The path round the hill is about 14 km, for another trip. One hour, a fixed meeting spot by the bus, and then about 35 km to Gingee.

Fort town halt
At Gingee the coach stops for twenty minutes on the main road; the walled fort hills are in view from the windows. Pilgrims buy water and fruit here, because the Jain village ahead has very few shops. Chennai is roughly 160 km away, Puducherry much closer. Announce a single time to be back on the bus before anyone gets down. From here a smaller road runs about 10 km east to Mel Sittamoor.

Arrive at the village
The bus needs about ten hours from Mysore, halts included. It drives into Mel Sittamoor and parks in the open ground near the math. The village is the seat of the Bhattaraka of the Tamil Jain community, so dress modestly, leave footwear outside and keep voices low. Food is limited; tell the cooks the head count early. Tindivanam, about 20 km away, has hotels. Count heads before the walk in.

Yes, the road from Gingee to Mel Sittamoor is about 10 km and takes a coach, though it is narrow in places and slow. After heavy rain from October to December it can be muddy for a day. The bus parks in the open ground near the math, so the group walks only a short way.
Breakfast at Channapatna and lunch at Tiruvannamalai are booked ahead. Mel Sittamoor has few shops and simple food, so tell the hosts the head count a day before, and carry fruit and biscuits on the bus. Many Jain groups carry their own dry snacks for the day.
