VEERATTANAESWARAR TEMPLE
Distance: 14kms from Tambaram
Shiva: Veerattaeswarar
Amman: Santhanayaki
Sthala Viruksham: Mango tree
The Vinayaka of this temple is called Santha Vinayaka.
The Guru pooja of Thirunavukkarasar is performed in the month of Chitirai on the star of Sadhayam day and the Guru Pooja of Sundharar on the Swathi on the month of Aadi. Appar is carried in the Palanquin on the Gurupooja day during procession. Sunder is carried on an elephant on the Gurupooja during procession as he reached mount Kailash on the white elephant. People who attend the Gurupooja functions get freedom from fear and a peaceful mind.
The Navagrahas are placed in a Lotus peetam.
The Agora Veerabadhrar sannidhi faces north. Special poojas are performed with betel leaves on full moon days to Veerabhadrar.
People believe worshipping Veerabhadhrar on full moon days with betel leaves gives them comfort, prosperity and all goodness in life and removes difficulties and problems which approach them.
The Vimanam of the temple is Padma Thala Vimanam.
The Chandran in the front Mandapam is seen with flowers in his hands showing his worship to Shiva in the past. This idol is made of a single stone.
There is a Kalahastheeswarar Sannidhi in the outer Prahara. The Kaalahastheeswarar must have been a main deity of a separate temple in the nearby Village in the past. Later due to invasions and as population has increased in that area this deity has been placed in a separate Shrine in this temple.
