Pudhu Mantralayam - Selaiyur

In Selaiyur near Tambaram, a southern suburban locality of Chennai, Pudhu Mantralayam, meaning "the New Mantralaya", is located. It is a new temple built in 2019 CE for Raghavendra Swami Temple.

The temple is large in size. It has a single shrine in the middle of a huge hall and has no other sub-shrine.




A large Brindavan of Raghavendra is enshrined in the center. The small metal icons of Raghavendra in the standing posture and Vyasraja are kept near Brindavan. Tiny metal icons of Vishnu-Sri Devi-Bhoo Devi, Lakshmi Narasimha and Panchamukha Anjaneya also grace the devotees. Besides, the small stone idols of Hanuman and Lakshmi Narasimha are also found here.

Happy travelling.
