Sri Virupaksheeswarar Temple, Sathananchery, Palur, Kancheepuram

 












Moolavar: Sri Virupaksheeswarar

Amman: Sri Vidyambigai

Saathanan, Seethanan Kurumanan are the 3 kings from the chozha period and the 3 villages here are named after these kings.

A good 1000 years old beautiful stone temple on the banks of Palar river, about 20 KM from Chengalpattu. The main entrance is facing south indicating that this is a parihara sthalam. Swamy Virupaksheeswarar is facing east and Ambal Vidyambigai is facing south.

The outer prakaram has all the murthies in the ghostam like Pillayar, Dhakshinamoorthy, Mahavishnu, Bramha and Durgai.

The temple is really in a bad shape and needs reconstruction.
