Kanchi Mutt amother than TTD lodges are the Kashi Mutt, Ahobila Mutt among several

others (all are close to each other on a ring road, and can be approached by foot from the

temple). Be warned though that priority is given to people associated with the mutt's

community and you will neither get room service nor air conditioned rooms - but the rooms

are well maintained, clean and come with clean beds and sheets. For the Mutt maintained

lodges, prior registration is strongly advised. However, do not have high expectations on

cleanliness when staying in these mutts. Some of the examples by various travelers that

cleanliness of these mutts aren't guaranteed.
