This temple is about 5 km from my residence. I used to visit it at least once every 6 months. It is about the very powerful Anjaneyar of our city Chennai... at Nanganallur.
Moolavar:
Sri Viswaroopa Anjaneyar or Adhi
Vyadhi Hara Bhaktha Anjaneyar
Some
of the important features of this temple are...
The
temple faces west with a 3-tier small Rajagopuram. Since the Moolavar is 32
feet tall, the Vimana is higher than the Rajagopuram.
On
the praharam, sannidhi for Kothanda Ramar with Sita and Lakshmana on the
northwest corner & Garudan on the
opposite, Nagar, Ganapathy, Raghavendra, Venugopalaswamy with Bama &
Rukmini on the southwest corner, Madapalli and a Thulabharam. Both Rama and Venugopala Swamy sannadhis (which is rare in Anjaneyar Temples) are facing east direction.
Three Continuous ghee lamps burn in front of the sanctum, and devotees offer ghee for them. Volunteers, such as retired persons, systematically render all the services. Prasadam is distributed throughout the day.
