EVP World Amusement Park - Chennai

By -
In South India, there was a time when the mention of an amusement park would invariably lead to VGP Golden Beach in Chennai. However, in the past 15-20 years (as of the writing of this blog in 2016 CE), numerous amusement and theme parks have sprung up in towns and cities across South India. Even in Chennai, there are now several amusement parks, and EVP World is one of them.

While EVP World may not enjoy the same level of popularity as VGP Golden Beach, MGM, or Kishkinta (yes, that's the correct spelling!), its location may be a contributing factor. Situated on the outskirts of Chennai, near Chembarampakkam, EVP World offers a unique experience for visitors.
The European-inspired entrances create the illusion of stepping into a foreign country, and the exclusive European-style shopping area known as Downing Street enhances this ambiance. Approximately half of the amusement park is dedicated to water-based games and rides. While it may not reach the standards of foreign counterparts, EVP World features attractions like Mega Wave, EVP Ocean (a man-made ocean), and rain dancing that can draw a crowd.

The park also offers a diverse range of activities, including exploring a treehouse, enjoying lunch on a mega-sized boat, ATV bike rides, laser shows, visits to replicas of the Khajuraho temple and an Egyptian museum, paintball, Animal Planet exhibits, horseback riding, and camel rides. The list of attractions at this park is extensive, with new additions each year.

EVP World is an ideal destination for families to unwind, especially when accompanied by children.

 Happy travelling.

The Tallest Murugan of Chennai

Consecrated in March 2021, the 40 feet high Bala Murugan icon at Saveetha Medical College campus is the tallest image of Murugan in Chennai. Malaysia has 140 feet tall Murugan. In April 2022, the 146 feet tall image of Murugan was consecrated near Salem in Tamil Nadu. However, they are all stucco images. But, the one that we find on the college campus is a monolithic granite icon. Thus, it is the tallest stone icon of Murugan in the entire world. A stone weighing 320 tonnes was brought from Siruvambur near Wallajah, and it was carved to 140 tonnes to get this beautiful and gigantic sculpture. The entire temple complex is designed in the shape of the Devanagiri letter "Om", which can be appreciated in the aerial view.  The west-facing gigantic sculpture is located atop the star-shaped pedestal. It dominates the entire landscape. A large meditation hall is situated below the pedestal. On the open corridor in front of the presiding deity, smaller shrines are found. They enshrine...

Navapashanam is an amalgam of nine poisonous herbs. It is said to act as a remedy for all types of diseases. It is believed that the Siddhas knew the secret formula to prepare this medicinal potion.  The sculpture of Murugan from the famous Palani is claimed to be made of Navapashanam. Similarly, there is a lesser-known temple near Chennai, which has a Navapashanam Murugan. In Hastinapuram near Chrompet in the southern outskirts of Chennai, in a congested lane called Masjid Street, this tiny temple of Bala Murugan is situated. Murugan, made of Navapashanam, is the presiding deity.  Jalakandeeswara Linga, Meenakshi, and the Siddha who found this temple are the other Murtis found in the temple. Happy travelling.
