Visit to Nanganallur Temples

I am sorry for this longest gap between posts so far

Two of the Blog friends Mr.J.K.Sivan and Mr.Vasu of Nanganallur were inviting me for a triparound Nanganallur temples to write a blog post for the benefit of everyone. Mr.Sivan usedto take a group of around 15 of his friends and relatives for frequent pilgrimage tours. Theyhave visited hundreds of temples in Tamilnadu. While I know temples mostly in and aroundChennai only, they know the temples all around Tamilnadu. On 15th March, I, along with myfamily went to his house by 7:45 am. His friends Mr.Vasu (very majestic in his saffron dresswith the panja kacham) and Mr.Chandru also joined the party. We had been communicatingover phone and mail for a few months but this is the first time we were meeting, well.. itdidnt look so. Right from the moment we stepped into their house, a kind of familiarity ofseveral decades engulfed us. It was a wonderfully architected new house and after a coffee,

we started off by 8 AM.

Nanganallur can be called as the Chinna Kanchipuram of Chennai due to the numeroustemples it has in and around.

The online map of temples in and around Nanaganallur is available here.

Sri Varasiddhi Vinayahar Temple

Our first stop was the Varasiddhi Vinayahar Temple located at Ram Nagar, Nanganallur 2ndmain road. This is one of the oldest temples and Kanchi Maha Periyavar used to stay onlyhere whenever he comes to Nanganallur. When we went, the Sandal paste abishekam was

in progress and it is always a beauty to see the Lords in abhisheham, isitnt? Mr.Sivanreminded us that the previous day was the Sankatahara Chathurthi but it continued till themorning of that day. So, in effect we had the Sankatahara chathurthi dharshan at the mostsacred place of Vinayagar at Nanganallur but without the usual Sankatahara Chathurthicrowd. What else once could ask for? and what a start!

Sri Lakshmi Hayagreevar Temple

This is very near to the Sri Varasidhi Vinayagar Temple and is one of the very fewHayagreevear temples of Tamilnadu. Hayagreevar is the God of Knowledge.

Sri Uthara Guruvayoorappan Temple

This is also very near the above 2 temples. The main deity here is very similar to theGuruvayoor deity. The temple is based on Kerala architecture and the kumbabishekam was

performed in 1975.

Sri Bhagavathi amman is giving dharshan in a separate shrine and the idol is a feast to theeyes. Goddess Bhagavathi is Deepa Swaroopam and represents the Trinity of Goddesses Mahalakshmi, Saraswati and Durga. Devotees can offer a garland of bangles as an offeringto the Goddess.

There are shrines for Sri Dharmasastha, Sri Prasanna Vinayaka and the Navagrahas. There isalso a separate shrine for Lord Venkateswara. There is a huge Peepul tree () as thesthalavriksham and an idol of Sankarshana is installed beneath the Peepul tree in a separateenclosure. The arasa pradhakshinam with Sangharshana idol in the morning hours isconsidered very sacred.

Sriveli, a procession in which the Lord is taken to all the eight quarters of the temple toinspect the neiyvediyams of the Ashtadikpaalakaas is performed in a small chariot everydayat 8 AM and 8 PM. A unique feature of this temple is that the outer walls of the sanctum andsanctorum are fitted with brass lamps like in Guruvayur. During Ekadesi, Pournami, Rohini,Astami and special occasions, the lamps outside every shrine are lit.

Here we had an excellent dharshan. There were many families busy with their ritualactivities for their kids. It was nice to see many beautifully dressed up babies/ kids

We had the first temple prasad of hot Pongal here.

Srimad Raghavendra swami temple

This is located very near the Anjaneyar temple and is known as the DhakshinaManthralayam. The sacred spot houses the Mithrika brindhavan of Sri RaghavendhraSwamy. The meditation hall just opposite across the road has His huge image that givesimmense peace for the heart and mind of the devotees.

Sri Anjaneyar Temple

This is the most popular temple of Nanganallur and the Nanganallur town is very muchidentified with this temple.

The barricades installed within the temple first take us to the Vinayakar and Nagar installedon separate platforms. Then we are guided to the Kothanda Ramar shrine. Shri Rama,Lakshmana and Seetha were in captivating alankarams facing east. I dont find words to

express my feeling and the beauty of the Lords and it took me a while before I movedfurther. Sri Sivans tour notes also expressed the very same sentiments.

After that we enter the main shrine ofAdhivyadhihara Bhaktha Anjaneyar. Adhivyadhiharameans, the extinguisher of the first disease of man namely Karma and the diseaseswhich the man goes through because of that Karma. The Anjaneyar facing West is of 32 feet

high carved out of a single rock, i.e., monolithic. This is an ever haunting place for devoteesespecially on Sundays but the crowd doesnt matter really because we can easily get thedharshan of the 32 feet Anjaneyar from any distance, from anywhere inside the temple.

On coming out of Anjaneyar shrine, we come to the shrine of Lord Krishna with Rukmani andSatya Bhama, all facing East. A thulam (weighing balance) has been erected for offeringthulabaram. A Sannidhi for Lord Krishna is rarely seen in Anjaneya temples. A temple ofKrishna here reminds us that among the Gods it was only Anjaneya who was present in boththe Indian epics, i.e., in Ramayana, as a direct disciple of Rama and in Mahabaratha, in theflag of Arjunas Chariot as ordained by Lord Krishna to save it from destruction by theopponents.

The temple work was started in 1989 with the blessings of Sri Ragavendra swami and Sri

Kanchi Paramacharyar. The great Paramacharya took the stone on his head to offer hisblessings. and the Kumbabishekam was consummated in 1995.

The temple is always buzzing with the activities of homams, archanas and sevas bybhakthas and volunteers at different corners of the temple. The very unique feature of thistemple is the continuous distribution of Prasadam during the temple hours, which changeshourly according to the offering given to the Lord.

We had the hot ghee Pongal, the second one of that morning.

The official website of the temple is here.

Sri Ayyappan Temple

Sabarigirisan temple just behind Anjaneya temple is a typical Kerala sampradaya temple forAyyappan. The idol in sanctum sanctorum could be comfortably viewed on the mirror fromboth sides of the sannidhi during crowded hours.

Sri Lakshmi Narasimhar Temple (New)

Sri Lakshmi Narasimhar on the first floor of the temple in 24th Street of Thillaiganga nagar isthe recent addition to the list of temples in Nanganallur. The Lord blesses here with HisConsort, in santha roopam under the umbrella of the five headed snake. We were just intime to have the last few minutes of the Thirumanjanam. It was really nice to have thedharshan of the beautiful Lord and the Goddess during Thirumanjanam. There is also LordDhanvandhri in a separate shrine here.

We had the Panagam and Curd rice as prasad here, the third of the morning.Contact: Ph 22329099

In the meanwhile Mr.Sivan already received 2-3 phone calls from his wife since the breakfastwas waiting for us. The original plan was to visit temple till 9AM, go for breakfast and thencontinue but with the prasads in 3 temples we were very much full already and so decidedto skip the breakfast.

Sri Devi Karumari Amman temple

This is just the adjoining temple to Sri Lakshmi Narasimhar. Lord Srinivasar (Balaji) givesbeautiful dharshan in a separate shrine at the entrance itself. We could not have thedharshan of the Karumari Amman since the screens were on after the abhishegam. Thetemple faces the new highway laid recently for connecting Velacheri with the GST road atthe Thillaiganganagar point.

Sri Raja Rajeswari and Sri Lakshmi Sametha Sathyanarayana Perumal temple

Located at ThillaiGanga Nagar, this very powerful, ancient, beautiful and popular templeunfortunately is located in a typical 2 tiered house in a narrow street. If you go by car, better

park it in main road and do a little walk. Additionally, when we went, road repairs were goingon and it was a real struggle to reach the temple.

Sri Lakshmi sametha Sathyanarayana Perumal temple is on the ground floor of the RajaRajeswari temple. Those who are unable to do Sathyanarayana Pooja at home canparticipate in the pooja here to get the benefit. Sri Lakshmi normally seen by the side ofPerumal is present here at the chest of Perumal who is in a standing posture facing west.Navagrahas, normally not seen in Perumal temples are seen here in a straight line which isunique. Panchamuga anjaneyar is also present here.

Because of the presence of Raja Rajeswari temple, this place was called Nangai Nallur onceand later became Nanganallur. It is said that the main deity here came up from a Homakundam. The devotees should go around the temple only in anti-clockwise direction. 43

Yantras of Shakti deities are installed in the temple and there are 16 steps to this sanctumsanctorum each signifying a special meaning. Sanganidhi and Padmanidhi bless thedevotees at the entrance of the steps.

The best thing about this temple and the other Keralite temples here Sri Guruvayoorappanand Sri Ayyappan temple were the absence of the artificial lights in the sanctum sanctorum.Lot of kuthuvilakku deepams are lit so that the devotees can have a comfortable and well litdharshan of the Lords. I always hate to see the Lords under focus lights and so enjoyed thedharshan in all these temples, especially here, since we can have a very close dharshan ofSri Rajarajeswari amman and also She was dressed up very beautifully.

(It is appropriate to mention here my experience at the Vaidheeswaran temple nearKumbakonam. The garbagraham there had neither artificial lights nor sufficiently litdeepams. Additionally we had to see the Lord from quite a distance. So literally we could seeonly the outline of the Lord and nothing more. In spite of the temple being so popular and socrowded, even the basic requirement of showing the Lord in good lighting was notunderstood by the concerned people. Whereas, being a parihara sthalam, you can see manygurukkals engaged in buzzing activities of various parihara poojas at various places of thetemple. It was a very disappointing dharshan of the Lord there, totally contradicting to theone we had here at Nanganallur.)

Sri Ardhanareeswarar and Sri Ashtabhuja Durgai Temples

It is located near the Pazhavanthangal railway station in the 4th Main Road. One has to bevery careful while crossing this bazaar road of Nanganallur as this is the main artery butnarrow and encroached by shops on either side. Added to it, the fast moving indisciplinedroad users in four wheelers and two wheelers, not to speak of the cows and bulls.

In the 1960s, the Paramacharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam discovered this ancient templewhen he was performing a morning puja at the abandoned temple tank here. He spotted anancient Lingam in the tank as Ardhanareeswarar. Since then the temple was functioning in

thatched sheds and the Kumbaabhezam took place in March 2004. This temple is also aKethu sthalam.

When we went, the temple tank has been deepened, compounded and maintained giving anexcellent view.

A life-size idol of Sri Ashtabhuja Shanthi Durga, said to be bigger than that of ancientPatteeswaram temple near Kumbakonam is installed in a separate shrine just at the rear ofthe Ardhanareeswarar temple. The well sculpted durga is a please to the eyes of thedevotees and is well known as sarvabhishta pala nayaki.

We could see lot of well maintained cows inside the temple.

Sri Dharmalingeswarar Sempon Kovil

Semponkoil Dhanmeesar (Dharmalingeswar temple) in south Nanganallur is an ancienttemple of Pallava times that dates back about 1000 years. There is a stone edict declaringthis temple having been constructed by a district chief under the Pallava King. The templewas unearthed during the digging up for a house construction.

The principal deity is Lord Shiva in the form of Dhanmeesar. The temple has a three tieredgopuram. There is a separate shrine for Goddess Sarvamangalambikai. The Navagrahas,Bairvar and Anjaneyar are seen in the inner prakaram and Vinayagar is enshrined in theouter prakaram.

Rajagopuram on other side is under construction.

Sri Navaneetha Krishnan Sri Lakshmi Narasimhar Temple (Old)

This is located in the Sarva mangala nagar.

As the historical researches have revealed, the small place of Nanganallur had existed evenduring the 8th century A.D., It was also chosen by the Pallava monarchs of Kanchipuram asa site for a number of sprawling Vishnu temples. Several artifacts had been excavated thatinclude a beautiful stone image of Lord Narayana, about five and a half feet in heightportrayed in a typical Pallava style. An image of Goddess Bhudevi, with a bell, a plate and alamp is extremely captivating. The metal bell found here with the imposing image ofGoddess Bhudevi is a unique one, since the top of the handle contains the images of

Sudarsana (the discus of Lord Vishnu) and Panchajanya (His conch) one inlaid within theother. Normally they are found on either side of the top portion of a bell. An inscription in

Tamil datable to the 10th century A.D. discovered at this ancient place has the detaileddescription of the registration of the gifted land for meeting the expenses of lighting twolamps everyday.

The main sanctum, facing east enshrines the imposing image of the principal Deity, LordLakshmi Narasimha. The other murtis, which adorned the beautiful main sanctum are thoseof Lord Pradosha Narasimha, for whom special worship is performed during every pradosha

and Sri Chakrattazhvar (Sudarsana). Also seen here are images of Sri Vishvaksena, SvamiNammazhvar, Sri Ramanuja and Sri Vedanta Desika. An interesting and rare architecturalfeature of this sanctum is a circular shaped pillar which resembles a stambha from whichLord Narisimha emerged to protect His child-devotee Prahlada.

The shrine housing the image of Lord Sri Sudarshana with Lord Narasimhar at the back is

designed like a chariot, circular in shape. The vimana is one of the chief interests about thetemple and is known as Veda chakra Vimana. Interestingly, the prayoga chakra` (the discusheld by Lord Narayana just prior to release) of an old Pallava Vishnu image which was earlierexcavated here, has been installed in front of the Chakrattazhvar shrine, which hasenhanced the traditional grandeur of the temple. This exceptional Vishnu image is properlymounted on a small structure, enabling devotees to actually touch it and pray for theirwishes.

Apart from the above mentioned sub shrines, there is another significant sanctum stationedin this temple, which is dedicated to Lord Navaneeta Krishna. Here, the main image holds aball of butter in His right hand while His left hand holds the conch (). Lord Navaneedhakrishnar magnetises the devotees with his teasing smile. It is interesting to note that theshrine for Lord Krishna is octagonal (eight-sided) in shape. The myths and legends

associated with the temple reveal that the octagonal design of the temple has a specialsignificance. According to these stories since He was the eighth child of Vasudev andDevaki, the shrine dedicated to the Lord is octagonal in design.

Also erected in this temple is a separate sanctum for Lord Srinivasa, whose image isguarded with the tall dvajastambha. It is venerated as the gift from the Tirumala TirupatiDevasthanam.

There is a sanctum dedicated to Lord Kothandarama with Sita Devi, Lakshmana andHanuman. Directly in front of Lord Rama`s shrine and inside the prayer-hall is erected asmall image of Hanuman called Bhaktakoti Anjaneya. The devotees are permitted to offerand apply dabs of butter on the image, while praying for the fulfillment of their wishes. So,the Anjaneyar here is seen always with butter alankaram. Just outside the prayer-hall and

facing the shrine of Lord Rama is the sacred sanctum dedicated to Sanjeevi Anjaneya withHis right hand held aloft.

A significant feature of the temple is that there is also a separate sanctum for Azhwars withexclusive cubicle for each Azhwar in a neat row.

Lakshmi Narasimha Navaneetha Krishna Temple has many antique sculptural pieces whichenhanced the scenic beauty of the temple precincts. There is a beautiful circular chamber ofmirrors () with a beautiful and unusual gopuram that adds a charming view tothe temple. The decorated images of the Lord are taken on special occasions near thesemirrors. Inside the chamber there are erected four pillars carrying the image of LordNarasimha. Throughout the entire length of the wall there are a series of mirrors reflectingthe images. Apart from these, pictures of the deities of 108 Divya Desams adorn the walls.

The paintings of the walls are outstanding and depicting the thirty pasurams of theTiruppavai. Pictures of some Divya Desams are found on the external wall, thus making thechamber really a House of Art`. The inner chamber is fitted with strategically placed, large-sized mirrors, which give the viewer a multi-reflection of the images of the deities placedwithin.

Sri Lakshmi Nrisimha Navaneeta temple apart from being a sacrosanct is also the specimenof the architectural skill of the contemporary artists. As a whole the temple is a symbol ofantiquity.

The day we went was the day of once-a-year Annakkoodai annual festival (Masi Chithirai) atthe Lakshmi Narasimhar shrine. When we went, here again, the Thirumanjanam was takingplace and we had a wonderful dharshan.

Madipakkam Oppliappan Temple

We then rushed to Madipakkam to visit the Oppiliappan temple enroute to Kaiveli on theMadipakkam-Velacheri road. Again, in this temple also, the abhishekam and aradhanai wasin progress. We had the dharshan of the main deity. Sri Ramar in Pattabhisheka kolam is inthe adjacent shrine.

The official website of the temple is here.

Sri Aurobindho and The Mother Meditation Centre and Gayathri Temple atMadipakkam

Next to the Petrol bunk on the Madipakkam-Velacheri main road and alongside thePuzhuthivakkam lake, in Madipakkam, is the small and beautiful Dhyana mandapam of TheMother of Pondicherry. The fragrance of the various flowers, the silence of the environmentand the enchanting smell of the incence in the mandapam add to the vibration one gets inthe presence of the eyes of the Mother looking at you. Unlike the other meditation centres inthe city, significantly here, a Samadhi is present like that of Pondicherry Ashram. A fewminutes of meditation is enough for one to recharge himself.

Within the same complex, a Gayathri Devi temple is also present with two small shrines onefor Vinayagar and the other for Gayathri Devi.

Dear All,

Going through the information and photographs by Mr. Raju, I really donot know thismuch temple are there, in Nanganullur. One can assume , Nanganullur is another temple

city ,next to Kanchipuram. I only visit Rajarajeswari Temple for personal prathana,

which almost fulfil at the right time. This temple is said to be only kind of TEMPLE as ofwhole in the world built as per AGGAMA VITHIGAL ( AS PER THE SCRIPT

WRITTEN HOW A TEMPLE SHOULD BE BUILT ) . Poojiya Shri Rajagopla swamiji

says : when you visit other temples you collect Punya ; but when you visit this temple

you will be relived from ALL THOZHA . What you believe and waht you dont believeis up to each individuals mind set. I have faith in this GODESS RAJA RAJAESWARI,

and I experienced her blessings. I wish those who are faith in GOD , can visit and get thebessings/ kirupa of Godess RAJARAJESWARI.

some of the information given on the Nanganallur temples and the place itself is veryinteresting and enchanting for people who wants to spend some time away from the city

and to be with their own Gods.

Although Iam yet to visit this place,the way description of the place and temples aregiven, giving me avery religeous and serene feeling.

I am very much excited and planning to visit the place today itself.
