Pudhuppaakkam is a small village located about 40 kms from Chennai. Pudhuppaakkam lies on the Kelambakkam – Vandalur Road, which is off. OMR. One has to take right from Kelambakkam and drive about 5 kms on Kelambakkam – Vandalur road to find Pudhuppaakkam on the right side of the road. A statue of Sri Anjaneyar by the side of the road shows the way to the temple.
The temple for Sri Veera Anjaneyar is located on a very small hill filled with trees and plants. The hill looks beautiful and there are steps to climb up the hill to reach the temple. One can get a very scenic view of the surrounding places while ascending the hill. Also the cool breeze pampers us as we climb up.
According to legend, it is said that, Sri Anjaneyar, while carrying the Sanjeevini Hill to save Sri Lakshmana, stopped here for a while to perform Surya Namaskar. Lord Hanuman is believed to be so powerful at this place.The temple is located on the hill top and is small and beautiful. This temple awaits Kumbhabishegam (consecration) shortly.
It is also said that Rajnikanth is an ardent devotee of this Anjaneyar and visits here whenever possible.Though there are no evidences like sculptures or history about the origin of this temple, it attracts lot of devotees from various places.
The temple is too calm with good vibrations and is a must visit for Sri Hanuman devotees.
Thx Mr.Saravanan
ReplyDeleteI have seen this temple & hill while passing through Kelampakkam - Vandalur road. But never visited the shrine. Being lot of developments going in that road / area, surel this nice temple is going to be crowded.
(Rajinikanth's Farm house is closer to this. So I have also heard he visited many times)
Dear Mr. Saravanan,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the info. I also have passed through that road many times, in addition to having gone though the village itself from Siruseri estate side, as I am not aware of the temple at all. Having purchased a site nearby, now I will visit the temple with my request to Lord to save my plot from the land grabbers hand, now in full action everywhere!
Sir,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is really very informative, with lots of relevant details. You are doing a great service in getting some of these lesser-known temples some worthy attention.
Dear saravanan,
ReplyDeleteThe blog you created for temples around chennai is marvellous with its history.
I am enjoying it in the early morning i fact during my visit to India I intend to visit some temples in and around Madras.
This was extremely useful to carry along the journey.
All my respectful regards,
In Seva,

ReplyDeleteI have been to this temple probably 7 years back and prayed for wealth and good job. Veera Anjenayar is so effective and he blesses those wishes immediately if we pray in true belief and divine. There is no doubt about it and very powerful. - V
