Puzhal Shiva Temple - Trimoolanathar Swarnambikai Temple

Arulmigu Swarnambikai Sameda Adhimoola Nathar Temple, Puzhal, Chennai

Puzhal is a small town on Chennai-Redhills route. Less than a kilometre from the Puzhal prison is the Shiva temple that cures all Mental Stress and illness 


If you are going from Chennai, you've to cross the Puzhal prison Shop and take a right before the bus stop and head strait to the road. There is a beautiful Jain temple on this lane (this can be a landmark too). A few hundred metres from the Jain temple stands the 1000 year old Trimulanathar Swarnambikai temple

A tank opposite to the temple shows the grandeur and the float festivals that happen. There is ample parking near the tank

The entrance leads directly to Swarnambikai. On the left is Lord Vinayagar with all grace 

After worshipping him we enter to the Inner Mandapam housing Lord Shiva and  Paravathi

Lord Tirumoolanathar attracts one very easily with his kindness. The Lingam is big and faces east. In the same Mandapam Lordess Swarnambikai showers her blessings . On Purnima days special abhishekam is performed for curing Mental illness 

The inner Praharam is dotted with Lord Ganesh, Dakshinamoorthi, Lord Valli Deivanai Subramaniya , Lordess Saraswathi and Durga

The outer Praharam has Lord Kasi Vishwanathar and Visalakshi full of kindness 

The Prasadam stall nearby attracts with irresistible Hot Pongal

Navagraha is on the eastern side of Praharam. The spacious Praharam for Navagraha 


This temple also has shrines for Sarabeshwarar and Pratyangara Devi

There is a Ghosala and well maintained Nandavanam


A must visit place very near to chennai
