Moolavar - Sri Swarnapureeswarar
Amman - Sri Mangalambigai
Place - Vengaivasal, Chennai, Tamilnadu
A beautiful temple located in the middle of the residential area of Vengaivasal at Bhajanai Kovil Street.
It seems that few decades ago while excavating the land for building a house a localite found the Sivalingam and decided to build a temple. Later they have found the Nandhi while clearing the tank and you can still see the old Nandhi. Though they have newer Nandhi installed.
The initial thought was to name this Vengaeshwarar but later decided to call it Swarnapureeswarar.
There is a 5 headed snake being carved on the sivalingam which can be seen while doing abhishekam.It is said that this sivalingam is of the same period as the Dhenupriswarar and the rest of the goshta murthies are fairly new.
The interesting fact is that when pure cow’s milk is used for the abhishekam on the sivalingam it turns blue in colour and we were lucky to witness the same today.
You can connect with the Gurukkal at 7358337055. His name is Sriram.
Address: Sornapureeswarar Temple, Noothencheri, Vengaivasal, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600126
