Brahma Teerth, Nedunkundram (Waterbodies of Chennai - 11)

Nedunkundram is a small village located near Tambaram on the southern outskirts of Chennai. It has an old temple for Lord Shiva, Agasteeswarar temple.

The temple has a huge tank that covers an area of around 1.5 acres. It is called Brahma Teerth. The tank must be as old as the temple. The site is calm and serene. It is rare to find such a beautiful locality with a tank full of pure water flowing in this city.

Happy travelling.

Note: As per a report, there were about 650+ waterbodies in the Chennai region till the 1980s. Today, only a fraction of them exist. And most of those surviving waterbodies hardly have water, and even some of them that have water have been poorly shrunk. In Chennai, there are tank roads without tanks nearby and lake-view roads without lakes. There is a high possibility that even the few waterbodies we have today might vanish soon. I decided to visit the currently surviving waterbodies of Chennai and its suburbs and write about them in my blog as a series.
