Sree Ayyappan Temple — Attraction in Central Zone

This temple is located in main city near Gandhi puram. For 100 devotees they are providing food everyday.

History: This temple has got a noble history of establishment. In the early stage, specifically during 1942 some of the devotees started the Pooja Sang in a simple way of worship through Bhajans. During the traditional Mandal Pooja they started the “Ayyappan Vilakku Pooja”. Then they commenced the Sabari Mala Yathra. This custom was regulated properly and continued in every year.

During 1955, the registration under the society act, took place in the name of “THE COIMBATORE SREE AYYAPPA SEVA SANGAM”. Gradually the development was attended with the guidance of devotees.

In the year 1958, a land to construct a temple was purchased at Siddhapudur. The industrialist Sri Narasi Thulasidas aided further in providing a shed at the temple site. The devotees continued their worship in the shed after installing the portrait of Lord Sri Ayyappaswamy. The Bajans and Poojas were conducted in a proper manner.

His Excellency Vishnuram Medhi, the Governor of Tamilnadu laid the foundation stone for the purpose of construction of the Temple. During 1966, Brahma Sri Kanippaiyur Shankaran Nambudhiripad had rendered the sacred chart consisting of the dimensional measures and symmetrical proportions of the structure of the temple. It was thus, implemented and the formations of the temple were done with the strict norms and regulations of the ancient carpentry and building systems.

My visit to the sacred Sri Ayyappan Temple at Siddhapudur was truly a soul-soothing and spiritually uplifting experience. Right from the moment I stepped inside the temple premises, I felt enveloped by a sense of calm and devotion that words can hardly describe.

The temple is beautifully maintained, radiating divinity and serenity amidst the bustling city. The main sanctum of Lord Ayyappa, adorned with exquisite decorations and the constant chanting of bhajans, fills the heart with deep devotion and peace. The rituals and poojas are performed with utmost discipline and dedication, making every visit feel sacred and fulfilling.

The temple architecture, though simple, exudes traditional Kerala-style charm, and the surrounding cleanliness adds to the overall divine atmosphere. The priests are very courteous, guiding devotees with devotion and respect.

Offering prayers here fills one with renewed faith, positive energy, and a deep connection with Lord Ayyappa. I left the temple premises with a heart full of blessings and a mind filled with tranquility.

A must-visit for anyone seeking spiritual solace in Coimbatore. Swamiye...
