This Adhipuriswarar Sivan temple (please do not get confused with Tiruvottiyur Adhipuriswarar Thiagarajaswamy temple, this is adifferent one in south Chennai area) is an ancient temple situated in Velacherry-Tambaram main road , just on road-opposite to the tank situated on the main road. It is just 4 kms from Velachery bus stand.

This is a parikarashthalam for Raghu-Kethu dosham, hence it gains prominence among Chennaites. During Raghu-Kethu peyarchi, lot of devotees assemble to get that dosha nivarthi.

God is Lord Adhipuriswarar and Godess Santhanayagi amman. This Santhanayagi Ambal is powerful in mitigating married couples problems, and hence during Sri Kethara Gowri Vritham day, couples throng this temple with nivethiyam. We visited this temple on one such Kethara Gowri vritham day, on 19.10.2017 Thursday. Long queue were formed to perform pooja to Uchava Nayagi , couples waiting for their turn.

Navagraha sannidhi is also there, apart from Raghu-Kethu and Bairavar sannidhies. We had a good darshan and returned satisfied.

Kindly don't do that. Please avoid being mean with common people. Just like you everyone comes to see lord siva and we all are same to him. Don't expect VIP treatment with lord Siva.God is in everyone. So try to see siva in people. Don't hurt anyone's feelings. Be patient in seeing lord Siva. Your love compassion and kindness only is all matter to Siva. It's not that you standing in first row, your giving flowers first by rushing all and you shouting people in a urge that you need to see lord siva first is all doesn't matter to him. He will feel bad that my kid (You) is being rude mean and selfish with his fellow kids(us, public). Please make your Dad (Lord siva) proud by being...
