Ponmar Satyapureeswarar Temple Pond (Waterbodies of Chennai - 41)

Within just 15 km from Tambaram, the ancient temple of Satyapureeswarar is nestled amidst a typical village setup in Ponmar. The temple has a beautiful lily pond. It occupies around 0.5 acres of area. Fortunately, urbanization has not yet affected the pond, and it remains intact without losing its pride.

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.
