Nanganallur has got its name from Sri Rajarajeswari as Nangai Nallur, which later changed to the present name of Nanganallur. This Varasiddhi Vinayagar Temple is on the 2nd Main Road of Ram Nagar, a part of Nanganallur.

  1. It is not in Ramnagar as given in above message. The temple is located in Nanganallur, 2nd Main road.

    Also the info above that, The locality name NangaiNallur was from SriRajarajeswari is also wrong.
    The Rajarajewari Temple at TG Nagar was constructed only around 1975,but Nanganallur is existing much earlier.

    1. Historically, what you said may be correct, but the people belief as legend is little different.
