1. Most Temples in TN do not have a specific dress code. But there are some no-no items. Ex: no half pants, kaili/saram (not sure how you guys call it).
There are some exceptions. I heard Srirangam temple imposes a dress code (not 100% sure). If you get time,
you should visit Madurai which is 2-3 hour drive from Trichi.
2. For a decent hotel, the rate could be anywhere between 600-800Rs/day for a 2 bed AC rooms. For non-AC it could be anywhere between 400-600Rs/day. If you bargain with them, you can reduce it a bit.
