Sri Sadai Amman Temple / அருள்மிகு திருச்சடையம்மன் ஆலயம், Egmore, Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

02nd July 2017
After the darshan of Arulmigu Srinivasa Perumal walked towards Sri Sadai Amman temple of Marshalls Road which was about a kilometre on the banks of Holy River Koovam.


Deity  :  Sadai Amman.

Some of the important features of this temple are .....
The temple is facing North with an entrance arch over the mukha mandapam.  The temple was under preparation  for kumbhabhishekam and the poojas are conducted to Urchavar. The main sanctum was kept closed. I could not see the huge Sadai amman ( large among the 5 Sadai Ammans in this area namely Chinna Sadai Amman, Manja Sadai amman, Sakthi Sadai Amman  and Arul Maha Sadai amman ), Nagaraja with the human face.

In Prakaram sannadhi for Navagrahas, Urchavar, Saptha kannis and Nagars.

LEGENDS
As per the legend, the original temple was in side the eye Hospital. The then British Superintendent felt that the temple was unnecessary and ordered to demolish. After the temple demolished he lost his eye sight. By the best effort of the British doctors at that time he could not recovered back his eye sight. It was told him that he lost his eye sight because of the demolition of the Sadai Amman Temple. He got vision back after he built a new Sadai Amman Temple just out side the eye hospital. Sadai Amman manifested upon a devotee and asked to built 4 more Sakthi temples  near this temple. ( the name of the temple are written above ). Ref : The Gods of Holy Koovam By Priya Baskaran.
