Arulmigu Vadapalani Murugan Temple - Hindu temple in Chennai - Chennai, India

Very powerful temple. We can have a peaceful mind here. Very neat and properly organised. Seperate place for hand wash and drinking water. Crowd management is good. There is a special place to sit for older people. Many marriage is done at a time with proper arrangements. There is a big fan never seen like that before.

I went on a rainy day. The vibe was good inside the temple. If you are new to the place, you might get scared of the local flower vendors. Because they ask you to buy their products and tell you to remove your shoes at their spot. But a common free shoe rack is available near the temple. And it's somehow rain proof. The second thing you have to be careful of is, the exit road. Because the exit road is a bit upslope.

Beautiful temple with rich historical importance located in the heart of Chennai. The Vadapalani Andavar Murugan Temple has a beautiful deity of the lord and one would feel happy and satisfied having Darshan of swamy.The temple has sub shrines in the main premises.

We went on Tuesday mid morning, bought special entrance ticket. Even so, since mid morning puja was ongoing, we had to wait for an hour for nadai to open and have Darshan of Lord Muruga. Muruga was adorned in sandalwood paste and the moment we saw him, all are waiting pain in the queue vanished. Since we went during Navratri, kolu was taking place. Excellent feast for eyes, lovely display of idols, highlights were replicas of Arupadai Veedu Muruga idols and many forms of Goddess Lakshmi kept around the kolu. When enquired, priest said we can donate dolls for kolu, but it won't be returned. Many Krishna idols were present, also many Dasavatar sets, also seperate steps setup for fabric kolu dolls.

Most popular and spiritual place in Chennai.. easy to reach via bus or metro. The chappal stand is self service and after the Kumbhabhishekam they have renowned most of the structure and it's looking well organised now and the crowded management also is good. Visit on the weekdays to avoid crowds and parking can be done on streets nearby and the other options would be the vadapalni metro.. you can get priority pass by paying 100Rs.

It's an epitome of South Indian culture, they worship lord Muruga. I just astonished by the beauty of this temple..... There's lot of flower vendors surrounding the temple, we can safely keep the chappals with free of cost . People are very kind and good , lot of parking space is there . Transportation is pretty easy it's very close to Vadaplani metro station. Overall there is good experience and nice atmosphere.

Muruganukku arogara.. it is not a place to rate. But we have to experience of Murugan blessing. I am blessed in abundance by him..
