Sri Agatheeshwarar Temple, Old Perungalathur
















Moolavar - Sri Agatheeshwarar
Amman - Sri Akhilandeswari
Place -  Old Perungalathur, Chennai, Tamilnadu

A good 1000 years old temple with a beautiful praharam. It has all the goshta murthies that we normally see in shiva temples. The Nandi is very unique here though it seems to be a recently installed.The Byiravar here is called Swarna Akarshana byiravar who is with his consort seated on his lap indeed a very unique Byirava murthy.

Separate Sannidhi for Raja Ganapathy and Sri Muthukumaraswamy with Valli and Devasena.There is no dhwahajasthamba in this temple and they have plans to build a Raja Gopuram.

This temple has been worshipped by sage Agasthiyar and hence the name Agatheeshwarar.

Address: Agatheeswarar Temple, 1st Main St, Old Perungalathur, Tamil Nadu 600063
