Reach Tiruvelukkai by auto-rickshaw or taxi from central Kanchipuram, ideally combining it with nearby Vishnu Divya Desams. Time your visit to the morning or evening darshan windows, avoiding the midday closure. After the main sanctum, visit the Amruthavalli and Garuda shrines before leaving.
Around 30 to 45 minutes is usually enough for darshan and to see the surrounding shrines.
Nearby you can pair Pavalavannar Temple (280 m), Yathothkari Perumal Temple (640 m), Kanchipuram Silk Weaving (1.0 km), Ashtabhujakaram Temple (1.2 km).
The temple lanes and floors can be crowded and slippery when wet, so walk carefully, especially barefoot inside.
