The Visit to this Vinayagar / Maha Vishnu Temple at Siruvanjur near Nattarasanpattu was a part of Shiva and Vishnu temples Visit on east and west side of Grand Southern Trunk Road ( GST Road ) from Old Perungalathur to Chettipunyam on 14th November 2021.
On the way to Sri Thiruvalishwarar temple from Orathur Sri Agastheeswarar Temple, happened to see a Vinayagar temple and found an Amman statue in half buried condition. I was little curious who could be. When went around the shrine found a Maha Vishnu statue is also half buried. Both are found beautiful and nobody was around to help me out to know more. Since Mahavishnu and Thayar statue was there, a Maha Vishnu Temple might have been around the area. As per the iconography. Maha Vishnu and Thayar may be of 300 to 400 years old.
HOW TO REACH
The temple at Siruvanjur is about 7 KM from Orathur, 11 KM from Padappai, 48 KM from Chennai.
Nearest Railway station is Tambaram.
