Date of visit: 6-Nov-2010
Where (Location):
This temple is located at Iyengal Kulam that is on the road to Kalavai from Kanchipuram, roughly about 7-8 Kms. (There is also a Chinna Iyankulam... be care ful..the one I am talking about is called Iyengar Kulam). This temple can be reached thru town bus.
What is special about this place :
- Vijayanagara period temple; Vijayanagara architecture carries its own beauty and elegance..!
- Sri Hanuman is said to have alighted here for sometime when he was carrying the Sanjeevi Parvadham and hence the temple and the tank are believed to cure disease
Camera : The priest was curious to know why I am taking the photos.. He thought I am from press..!
What did I like of this place :
- The beautiful mandapams and steps at the back of the temple.
- The tank at the back of the temple near a huge tree (Don't miss this)
- Though some portion of the walls of the temple are kind of dilapidated, the temple is maintained clean.

Temple setting is beautiful. Liked the greenery and water pool near by.
ReplyDeleteTrue.. I too liked the tranquility of this place. The tank (pool) is situated against a back-drop of an expansive green plain and is very soothing to the eyes..! I liked this place very much. It was worth my half a days visit..!
