The Unknown Raghavendra Temple of Tirunelveli

Have you ever heard of the ancient and well-known Varadaraja Temple in the Veeraraghavapuram area of Tirunelveli? What many don't know is that there is also a Raghavendra Swami temple located on Sannadhi street, facing the towering Varadaraja Temple. What makes this temple unique is that it is situated in the middle of a house and has been standing for over a century. 

Legend has it that the ancestor of the current temple administrator was childless, but after receiving the blessing of Raghavendra, he became a father. In gratitude, he built the Raghavendra temple within his very own house. 

Visiting this temple is a truly divine and peaceful experience. The temple is now under the care of Rayara Mutt, and is definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in the area.

Happy travelling.
