Thuraiyur is one of the very few towns in Tamil Nadu to have a high grade water management system.

During the Monsoon, rain water from the nearby hills fill the lakes used to irrigate the surrounding agricultural lands.

When the lake reaches its maximum level, safety valves are opened to drain the excess water into the neighbouring temple tank through an underground canal.

Thuraiyur is well connected by road to cities like: Trichy, Namakkal, Musiri, Perambalur, Ariyalur, Jayankondam, Coimbatore, Ooty, Chennai, Bangalore, Karur, Attur, Thammampatti and Salem and& Madurai.

In addition to the main bus routes, mini buses play an important role in connecting villages within the hinterland.

It temple is located at the top of Perumalmalai, which lies 960 ft (290 m) above ground level in the Pachamalai hills, 3 km (1.9 mi) from Thuraiyur in Tiruchirappalli district.

Thousands of devotees take part in the Girivalam (circumambulation around a mountain or hill) procession around the Perumalmalai hillock on all full-moon days.
