Girivalam (Giri Pradakshina) is a sacred practice where devotees circumambulate Arunachala Hill in Tiruvannamalai on Pournami (Full Moon) days to seek the divine blessings of Lord Arunachaleswarar (Shiva). Walking the 14 km path around the holy hill is believed to remove karma, bring spiritual enlightenment, and fulfill desires. According to ancient scriptures, performing Girivalam on Pournami (Full Moon) night amplifies spiritual energy, making it the most auspicious time for this sacred ritual. Thousands of devotees gather every Pournami to participate in this divine journey.

The Girivalam Calendar for 2026 provides the exact dates and timings for each Full Moon to help devotees plan their pilgrimage. Apart from Pournami Girivalam, special occasions like Karthigai Deepam, Maha Shivaratri, and Pradosham are also considered highly auspicious for circumambulation. Observing fasting, chanting Shiva mantras, and visiting the Arunachaleswarar Temple during Girivalam enhances spiritual benefits.
