This temple is right in the center of the city and in the most popular shopping place of Chennai. The sannadhis of both Shiva and Vishnu are present in the same temple. Also there are sannadhis for various other gods belonging to Vaishnavism and Shaivism. The Kumbabhishekam of the temple took place recently.

I was in Chennai last week. Just came back yesterday. i saw this temple on my way to the the T nagar bus stand. But didn't go inside as we were late and wanted to reach home.Next time I would visit this.
ReplyDeleteI am a first time temple goer though I do pray from home and have gone to temples occasionally with family. Going to visit and see the two powerful gods Vishnu and Siva at one place is a dream come true. Today it will become true, god willing. Thank you, God Almighty, for now at least opening my eyes to the importance of prayer and devotion in temples. God bless all of you
