Do you wish to have Darshan of Lord Ranganathar near Chennai? The right place is Sri Ranganatha Perumal Temple at Devadhanam near Minjur/Ponneri. The temple is situated in a small village and is surrounded by lush green fields. A temple as old as 1,000 years, it has been built by Chalukyas who wished to worship Lord Ranganathar of Srirangam here itself. The Chalukya king had a darshan of the Lord in Sayana Thirukolam (reclining posture) getting tired after giving away the grains in the Markkal/Padi (Wooden measure used to measure paddy) for feeding the world during the harvest season. He decided to build a temple in this place. As you enter the temple, you can see the Dwajasthambam and Balipeedam and Garudazhwar. When you circumambulate, you can have darshan of Ranganayaki Thayar, Chakarthazhwar, Naga Putru, Andal Thayar and Hanuman in separate Sannadhis. It is incredible to see a small temple housing such a huge deity of Lord Ranganathar! Lord Ranganathar lies in reclining posture under Aadhiseshan, resting His head on Marakkal. His right rests hand under His crown of hair and left hand extended over His body. Maatha Lakshmi appears at the feet of the Lord with a lotus in Her hands and Bhooma Devi, with blue water lily in Her hands. Opposite the Lord's Moola Vigraham, are Thumburu Maharishi and Bhakta Anjaneya. Lord Ranganatha Moolavar is about 5 feet in height and about 18 feet in length. The Saligramha for deity’s Thirumeni was brought by Chalukyas from North India and hence there is no Thaila Kappu (application of oil) as done in other shrines. And the location is very rightly it is also known as Uttara Srirangam or Vada Srirangam. The village Devadhanam is named so as it was considered to have been given by the Devas. The Temple is well maintained and the Archagar in the Sanctum provides a detailed Sthala Puranam (History of the temple) The village is enchanting, beautiful and dotted with paddy fields. Also could see a lot of shrimp farming around. Drive carefully as long vehicles pass through the narrow village roads. You can reach this place from Chennai by two wheeler or four wheeler. Prefer the route via Red Hills, Ponneri (Thachur Road) as the route through Minjur (turn right at Kattur Road for Devadhanam) has lot of container traffic and the road is battered. In either case you need to cross a train level crossing and hence plan the trip accordingly. Plan for about 3 hours up and down. Temple timings 7 am to 11 am and 4.30 pm to 7.00 pm. In times of Corona, Pooja Materials including have to left behind and the Archagar will use this after...
