Nanganallur Railway Station - Chennai
Nanganallur - the place of Famous Hanuman Temple and other temple is easily accessible by Train. I think that is the best way compared to bus.
The nearest station is palavanthangal .. the station is nanganalur only
Chennai Onsite Temple
Like Visa Balaji of Chilkur, the Hanuman - Anjaneya temple in Nanganllur is famous for sending people onsite.
It is said that one has to tie a sacred thread/rakhi on saturday and then continue for five saturdays. One of our friend Karthikeyan Sangaiah did this for five weeks and went to Germany. Where do you want to go?

Karaneeswarar Temple Saidapet, Chennai
I have been living in Chennai for close to twenty years and never knew this temple for most of my life. When I moved out of Chennai, I read about this temple and its grace.
From that day I am yearning to visit this temple, but never happened. One day my good friend and our spiritual guruji Dhuvaraga Prasath Mohanram told that he is (or was) a regular there and his shoulders were reserved for Lord Muruga's chariot/palanquin. This kindled my hope that I will eventually visit this temple
k
This temple is close to Saidapet Railway station. Just 50 m walk from the station gate.
I took a train and alighted in Saidapet station. As I got down the station, got the darshan of the Rajagopuram - a seven storied structure.
There was a footpath that apperared to lead to the temple, I resisted that and came out of the main gate, which lead direct to the Karaneeswar temple street. Yes, this is what I want. Let's start the journey!
On entering the temple, Vinayaga welcomes us on left in a small temple. After getting his permission and blessings, I entered the temple. As I turn left, Lord Shiva as Karaneeswar gave his darshan right there. The time was 5:15 pm - middle of nithya pradosham ... I can't write the mood I was when I saw the god. It was simple great. The peaceful atmosphere created a great impact deep in my heart.
There was a fan near the fag end of barricade and I sat there chanting Om Nama Shivaya for some time and then moved around the Sanctum. Lord Vinayaga, Lord Dakshinamurthi, Lord Vishnu and Lordess Durga were around the Sanctum to bless the disciples.
As we turn straight and left from Shiva temple, Lordess Swarnambigai always ready to bless her foolish Sons and daughters was present.
What a grace. I recited few lines of Abirami Andadi (that's what this fool know till now) and came out and walked round the prakaram
The prakaram has many small temples, Lord Subramanya, Lord Saneeswara, Lord Vedagireeswar, Lord Palaniandy, Lord Hanuman and Navagraha temple
Have a nice trip!
Om Ganeshaya Namaha! Om Nama Shivaya! Om Sakthi! Om Saravana Bhava!
Om Satguru Seshadri Swamigal Thiruvadike!
Om Varahi Namaha!

Flora and Fauna in Saduragiri
Saduragiri - the land of Siddhars is abundant with many animals and birds. As you move up you will hear different sounds of birds, insects.
Beware there are some snakes too. We saw a small snake gulping a little frog.

Temples in Saduragiri
There are many temples in Saduragiri. The first one is Vinayagar temple (Ganesh temple). Better to break some coconuts here for a safe journey
Adjacent to Lord Ganesh is the Kali Mata temple. Perform a Aarti here and take the next step
A few meters away from this temple is the Pechi Amman Temple and Karuppanna Swamy temple. Take the vibudhi of Karuppanasamy with you on the journey. He is the Kaval DEivam of this area and will ensure your safe return
On top you have another Karuappana Swamy temple. Next to it is a Well where the water was used to make gold by mixing some leaves
Saduragiri is a place of Siddhars. Every temple here is visited by thousands of Siddars. Some may stand next to you when you pray. You will feel it when you pray!

How to go to Saduragiri (from Chennai) - Part 2
In How to go to Saduragiri (from Chennai) - Part 1 we took you from Chennai to Srivilliuputtur and from there to Thaniparai. Now join us in the trek towards Sundara Mahalingam and Santhana Mahalingam temple, Saduragiri.
Om Namah Shivaya!
The initial few hundred metres will be normal footpath. Lord Vinayaga will be the first to bless you before the climb ahead followed by Kali temple and then Karuppanasamy and Amman temple.
After the initial 'walk' the climb starts with a Vazhukku parai (slippery rock), there are steps carved now and one need not worry. But better to be careful!
The total distance of Saduragiri hills will be close to nine kilometers
The climb will be steep in some places and some places it will be a plain walk. On right will be the mountain and on the left will be the beautiful valley. There are many springs and waterfalls on the way to top
