Sri Sundareswarar Temple, Nolambur, Chennai

 











Moolavar: Sri Sundareswarar

Amman: Sri Meenakshi

The temple faces east, with an entrance arch. Shiva with Parvati as Sundareswarar and Meenakshi Marriage along with Nandi playing Mridangam, Maha Lakshmi, Maha Vishnu, Saraswathi Vinayagar, Naradar, Brahma conducting the velvi,  stucco image is on the top of the entrance arch.

Ambal is in a separate sannidhi facing east on the right side of the Moolavar Temple. Ambal’s various forms are in the Koshtam.

Since the temple’s layout (like Potramarai Kulam, Vibhuti Vinayagar, etc), the Construction of the Sanctum Sanctorum is followed like Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple, and the legend associated with the Madurai temple is also told in this temple. Hence, some of the festivals are also conducted similarly to the Madurai temple.
