Vadapalani Murugan Temple

Chennai Vadapalani Andavar Temple

Vadapalani Andavar Temple is a Hindu temple that is dedicated to Lord Muruga. It is located in Vadapalani, Chennai.

According to the sthalapurana, one Muruga devotee by name Annaswami Nayakar with his limited means built a small thatched hut and kept a Murugan painting for his personal worship primarily. During his meditation and worship, he used to experience some divine power entering his body and inspiring him to utter some mysterious things. Whatever he said in his trance was found true. His utterance went by the name of 'Arulvakku' ('God blessed statements') and relieved people in several ways, like curing diseases and getting jobs, solemnising marriages, etc.

 The moolavar in standing posture resembles the Palani Muruga in every respect. It has a spacious hall used for conducting marriages and religious discourses. It is one of the most-frequented Murugan shrines in the city of Chennai.

There are many other sannidhis in the vast courtyards of the temple, like Varasiddhi Vinayaka, Chokkanathar, Meenakshi Amman, Kali, Bhairava, Shanmuga with Valli and Devasena.
