Following Proper safety measures, social distancing is been maintained, as usual they maintain temple clean

Had been here on shivaratri and the arrangement was very good and people were following the queues. A powerful temple

This is a very good Padal petra thiruthalam within Chennai in the likes of Sri Kabaleeswarar Sri Marundheeswarar eyc with which most people are familiar.The appreciable fact is even in Covid times of course in unlock period the temple administration staff follow guidelines and the devotees and Gurukkal are sincere and disciplined.The alankarams even on a non special day when I went was nice for Lord Shiva Jagadeeswari ambal and Gurubhagwan in the outer prakara.Maintenance was good with neatly laid pavements flower plants nicely organised giving a nandavanam look and popular padigamgal are written conspicuously for benefit of devotees while going round the outer prakara.There is a nice MahaVishnu Murthy with Tulsi garland in the place of Lingothbavar and there is also a small shrine where Hanuman was doing Puja for Shivlinga.Overall everyone visiting the temple would really be impressed and get peace and grace of the swami and ambal.

One of the Padal Petra Thalam. Well maintained . A must visit Shivan temple .

This is the temple for lord SHIVA. Awesome place in between the city and here you can see lots of birds and also you can feed them. Wonderful place to get relaxation with birds and very calm too😁

As the name suggests, this temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is also known as a Guru Sthalam, where prayers are offered to Guru or Jupiter to ward off the ill effects. A very nice and ancient temple where, apart from the gods, the pigeons also hold ones attention. Hundreds of them come to feed in the open inside the temple. People can feed them and enjoy their trust for sometime.

Padal Petra siva sthalam, chennais guru sthalam, visit once get blessed. Dont forget to see ambikai on left of Shiva lingam moolavar, not known commonly, its a speciality in this temple.

A must go temple in Chennai, which is located in Padi . It is very close to Anna Nagar ... spacious parking available in front of the temple... But the access road from CTH Road is quite narrow in some points .... When you enter the temple , you first see the lord Shiva and beautiful Bunch of Pigeons.... it will come pretty close to you ..., you can feed them ... Bring your kids and they will enjoy a lot than us.... Although the temple is also very clean and neat.... It is the responsibility of the devotees to maintain it.... This temple has a separate Sannathi for Lord Guru.... Om Nashivaya 🙏 !
