The temple is really good. Kerala structured Temple. But what I didn't like the Purohits ( priest) ask you to come , give you flowers & ask for money. You will meet 3/4 priest like this,in front of different deities. There's no demand , you can give 20/50 rupees to each also. But they shouldn't ask like this, right? Pardon me, Not sure if it's the rituals there, but honorarium should be part of individual person's wish, it should not mandatory. We bought two coupons (30 rs each) to buy Prasad, but from counter the guy gave us only one packet. I repeated, we gave 2 coupons, but the counter person gestures( may be he doesn't know English) that I should receive only one packet. ????? Why ?? But I must say, some of the priests are really really good & kind hearted, they explained us & cleared out all our questions. Overall, do visit this temple if you go Chennai, but keep in mind above things.

Swamyae Saranam Ayyappa! In the heart of the city (Mahalingapuram) Ayyappan temple is located well connected through rail and road too. Temple offers online vazhipaadu too. People can wear maalai here, full kattu nera (irumudi kattu) done here with Guru swamis. Everything for Sabarimala yathrai very much available here to get Ayyappan's blessings. Yathri's shelter, annadhana mandapam and many more facilities also located very nearby. This year 2020 due to pandemic devotees are very less in numbers. Temple authorities maintaining social distancing and mask, checking temperature and sanitizer for safety of everyone.

This place is very beautiful and very organised. The temple is maintained very neatly and very systematic. The place is very divine and brings divine feeling once you enter the temple. 🛕 The ticket counter is next to the temple building and different types of Archana and Pooja‘s tickets can be bought in this counter and Prasadam tickets are also sold at the counter. The temple construction is typically in Kerala style. in the busy city traffic a sense of calmness is being attained in the temple.🛕 Must visit place .

Ayyappan & Guruvayurappan temple at Mahalingapuram near Kodambakkam bridge. Spacious temple and pooja performed auspiciously. Many Ayyappa devotees come here to have the Irumudi (an auspicious bag with coconut filled with ghee, rice, coconut, relatives kaanikkai) to offer to the Lord Sabari Malai Ayyappan. The devotees carry the irumudi on their head up to the temple since the things are to be offered to the Lord.

I have heard this temple long time before. But today only God is given permission to visit. Very very beautiful temple. Temple is very well maintained. Just like Guruvayoor (Kerala type), you can see the God. Inside photography is not allowed. But many things are very very beautiful and it should be published. During festivals there will be huge rush.
