Moolavar: Sri Ramanathaeaswarar
Amman: Sri Sivakama Sundari Ambal
Place: Porur, Chennai
A beautiful temple with a histroy connecting with Ramayanam.
While Sri Rama came in search of Sita he happend to step stumbled on a stone at this place in Porur Chennai and realised it was a swyambu lingam and to clear his dhosham of stepping on the lingam started to do a 45 days penace under the nelli maram ( Amla tree) by just eating one amal a day. Once his penance was completed he could see the sivalingam grown up to a 6 ft high and Sri Rama offered his prayers. In return lord siva informed Rama to head to Rameswaram from here.
Interestingly there are certain practice that we see only in Vaishnava sthalam which is also practiced here in a sivasthalam.People who cannot visit Rameswaram can visit this temple to offer their prayers. Hence aptly this place is called vada rameswaram
