Ved Vyasa Temple of Chennai

You can find the temples of Ved Vyasa in the Uttar Pradesh state of India. But in Tamil Nadu, that too in Chennai, there is a temple for Ved Vyasa. Do you know about this rare temple?

In the Sembakkam area near Tambaram, Ved Vyasa Tapovanam is located. It was constructed in 1998 CE. Situated in a peaceful locality, the Tapovanam has a big meditation hall and altar for performing homam.

The sanctum enshrines Maharishi Ved Vyasa. This is perhaps the only temple of Vyasa in Chennai. The outer walls of the shrine have attractive stucco images of all four Vedas. The personified forms of Vedas have animal faces. They are all found with their respective consorts.

Happy travelling.
