Vadapalani temple in Chennai

Today, we visited Vadapalani temple . It was a drive in auto-rickshaw from Kodambakkam. After skipping few auto-rickshaws and negotiations, it was a Rs 35 journey . Well, Vadapalani is one of the major places of Chennai as it is very close to Kodambakkam and T.Nagar. Even thought it is near to those places, the temple in Vadapalani is the main reason for major attraction . The place is pretty crowded as there are many followers of Lord Muruga around the temple on almost every day. On saturday and sunday, it is very crowded as it is a public holiday.

Lord Murugan is so beautiful and divine that both mind/heart is filled with happiness and peace. Luckily, today we saw the Lord coming around in Ratham (Temple car/Chariot).

The temple appears like a simple new-age temple . I did not find many scriptures inside the temple, but the main tower was well scripted with lots of images of different Gods. I liked the water flow at entrance of the temple that washes our legs off the dirt to keep the shrine clean. The drums controlled by modern mechanical and electronics is one of the latest implementation in the temple. I also liked the lightings on the walls of the temple. Unlike other temples that have scriptures over the walls around the temple, interestingly this temple has good lightings over the wall.
