This station is actually located in town BANAVARAM and no where located inside town sholinghur. SHOLINGHUR IS LOCATED 15KMS away from this station, though Public transport is avilabe to reach sholinghur from here, for better frequency Arakkonam station is best to reach. From arakkonam station walk a little and lot of sholinghur buses will be plying than from here. Also Arakkonam-sholinghur town road will be better than this...

SHU- Sholingur is easily accessible from AJJ or even SHU nowadays.
From AJJ stn, we need to come bus stand by Auto and take a bus to SHU.
One can get down @ the Kaman(Arch) itself instead of going to the town.
There temple (1345 stemps) opens by 6 and closes by noon. Better to start as early as possible to avoid scorching heat.

.
On the adjacent hill, there is Hanuman temple(500 steps) and a must visit temple. Practically, both temples cannot be covered in a single day.
.
Sholinghue is easily accessible from tiruttani also.

Very tough to complete those 2 on same day. At least in winter times, one can give a try. SUmmers? Just out of scope.
