It was in 1960’s whenever Sri Sri
Sri Mahaperiyava of Kanchi Mutt visit Meenambakkam, Sri Periyava reside in
Pazhavanthangal and perform oblations in a pond situated here. It was one early morning, while Mahaperiyava
was having holy dip in the pond noticed that a few people were washing clothes thumping
on a fair sized stone positioned here. Instantly, Mahaperiyava shrieked with a painful
voice asking them to stop thrashing on the stone and informed them that it was
a Linga not an ordinary stone. The
people assembled were astonished and shortly huge crowds of the
people were gathered on that place and waited for the further divine instructions of Sri
Mahaperiyava. Shortly Mahaperiyava took
holy dip and engrossed in oblations. The
people assembled were anxiously waited for the command of Jagadguru, Mahaperiyava mellifluously started to speak, well-informed
them that it was an idol of Lord
Ardhanareeshwara and advised the senior most people to construct a small temple
to perform ritual and worship Lord on regular basis. Finally, the compassionate Jagadguru blessed
them that this place will flourish with the grace of Lord. Shortly, a small worship place was constructed
and the daily rituals were carried out at the advice of Sri Mahaperiyava. Worship of Lord Ardhanareeswara in this
temple would provide the blessings of Lord as well as Jadaguru in abundance.
This temple remains open from
6.00 AM to 12.00PM in the morning and 4.30 PM to 8.30PM in the evenings.
