The temple is situated near to one of the stringent spaces in the city(unplanned) so driving is cumbersome, have to make more turns and stops to near the temple. The road which has entry point(for now) to the temple is narrow for two big cars, could be reached in after the traffic passes.There are ample parking spaces for two wheelers, four wheelers are on the moderate side though. The temple is on renovation, there are works going on every corner, Once it is completed we could watch the innate beauty of the temple and we could reach the temple from multiple sides. There is a special pooja conducted on every month based on the celestial calendar. There are only few temples for the deity in and around the city and this is one of them.
Devotees are not treated equally here very high partiality is seen for a single lady devotee whenever she visits they stop the pooja and let her inside till the god statue and give her alone kumkum and chandan. I have been noticing this incident for almost 14th week and this very bad as a devotee everyone should be treated equally. When the special lady comes all the ayyars will go and work as if she is their Boss. Very bad. Last week incident was very horrible they made us wait for more than 15 minutes. I request the management to take this an request and change the things accordingly. For kind information this happens every Tuesday morning. If you want check it.
