Moolavar:Sri Agathiswarar
Amman: Sri Tiripurasundari Ambal

A recently built temple around 3 years ago. You can see an old shiva lingam at the backside under the peepal tree which is called Aadhi Lingam and few years ago a Siddhar like person came to this village and found this shivalingam under the tree and told the villagers to build a shivalingam.

So last 3 years ago a new shiva tenple was constructed and named Agathiswarar. A small temple where Agathiswarar is facing east and Ambal Tripurasundari is facing south. All the ghostam murthies can be seen around and a separate Sannidhi for byravar alone is there.

Under the peepal tree at the backside they have the aadhi lingam, Aadhi Pillayar and sage Agastheeswar.

Sri Kasi Viswanathar Temple, Poonamallee

 

 

 

Moolavar: Sri Kasi Viswanathar
Amman: Sri Kasi Visalakshi Ambal

A beautiful twin temple one for Kasi Viswanathar and one for Venugopal Swamy. The temple is in a shambles with structures disintegrating. It would be hard to believe that the temple owns 177.7 acres.

The origin of the temple dates back to the 1800s when a zamindar called Venkaiah travelled to Varanasi by walk to pray for getting kids. There, he came across a Aghori who gave him a Shivalinga the size of a small ball. The Aghori had asked Venkaiah to build a temple for the Shivalinga at a place where he finds the land gold in colour. And where the lingam falls from his hand he had to build a Shiva Vishnu Tenple there.

On his way back, Venkaiah found that at Pappanchatram the land was gold in colour and also the lingam fell here. He proceeded to buy some 1,750 acres there. He then built the Shiva temple there along with one for Vishnu. In addition to the temple, a quarters was constructed for temple priests to live, while the two big halls also came up.

Before breathing his last, Venkaiah, in his will, wrote in all the lands of two villages – Irunkottai is the other – he owned for the temple so that poojas could be conducted without any hurdle, and the premises could be maintained properly. There are three inscriptions in the temple that vouch for the donation of the lands to both temples.

The temple has Sannidhies in the internal prakaram for Aadhi Shankarar, Varasiddhi Vinayagar, Valli Devasena Samedha Subramania Swamy. Also, there is a sannidhi for Anna poorani and Sri Thripurasundari Samedha Sri Thrikalagnaneshwarar sannidhi. 

The perumal temple also has some beautiful and rare sculptures.

A very old and beautiful temple needs complete renovation.
