Gayatri Devi Temple in Chennai

It is rare to find a temple for Gayatri in South India. In Selaiyur, near Tambaram, the southern outskirts of Chennai, there is a small temple for Gayatri.

Gayatri is usually depicted with five heads and ten arms. However, she is shown with a single head and two arms in this temple. She holds Vedas in her left arm and kamandalu in her right arm. She is seated on a white swan.

It's a small temple managed by a trust from Haridwar. It is called Gayatri Shakti Peetham. It is located near Air Force Quarters in Varadarajan Nagar of Selaiyur. The temple maintains a calm atmosphere.

Happy travelling.
