Nanganallur Vara Siddhi Vinayak Temple


Nanganallur, situated on the outskirts of Chennai, is renowned for being a temple town with numerous significant temples. Among these temples, one stands out  - the Vara Siddhi Vinayaka Temple.

Located on 2nd Main Road and adjacent to the Hayagriva temple, the Nanganallur Vara Siddhi Vinayak Temple has been a well-known religious landmark for the locals. Constructed in the mid-1970s, it holds the distinction of being one of the oldest temples in this locality.

The temple's design is modest yet elegant, featuring a small gopura as its main entrance. Within its sanctum lies the revered deity, Vara Siddhi Vinayaka (Ganesha), who is the primary focus of worship.

Apart from the main deity, the temple boasts sub-shrines dedicated to other deities, including Kodanda Rama with Sita and Lakshmana, Hanuman, Subramanya-Valli-Devasena, and Navagraha.

On the exterior wall of the sanctum, visitors can find niche images of Dakshinamurti and Durga, adding to the temple's artistic beauty and spiritual aura.

For those with an inclination towards spiritual exploration, a visit to the Nanganallur Vara Siddhi Vinayak Temple is a must. 

Happy travelling!
