Arupadai Veedu Murugan Temple

Besant Nagar - Arupadai Veedu Murugan Temple

The Arupadai Veedu Murugan Temple depicts all the avatars of Lord Murugan in a exact replica of his arupadai veedu temples in Palani, Palamudircholi, Thiruparankundram, Tiruchendur,  Tiruttani, and Swamimalai. It gives a sense of being to all the shrines together.

If we want to see all the Abodes of Muruga in Chennai, then the place is Aarupadi Veedu Temple Besant Nagar. Peaceful and clean. One temple for all the six Padai Veedu (Arupadai Veedu) temples of Lord Muruga at one place and that too in granite. Mr. Muthiah Stapathy, who has built many temples in India and in USA, is the architect of this project. 

This temple is built very near Besant Nagar Beach, the shore of Bay of Bengal behind Ashtalakshmi Temple., dedicated to Lord Muruga. If we cannot visit all the six houses of Lord Muruga spread all over Tamil Nadu, better visit this temple in the heart of Chennai. It is a fairly new temple , well constructed and well maintained. 

Swami Malai Temple was built first in 1995. and then
Mahavallabha Ganapati, Palani and Tiruttani was build at 1998
Tiruchendur, Tirupparankundram and Palamudirsolai was built at 2002.
