VINAYAKA TEMPLE - 01

A famous Varasiddhi Vinayakar Temple is located in Besant Nagar, Adyar, Chennai near Besant Nagar Beach. 

The first Kumbabhishekam of the temple after extension activity was held in April, 1979 before which the idol was being workshiped at a site opposite to the present site of the temple, within the CPWD Quarters compound. In fact, in the sanctum sanctorum, we see the idol of Valampuri Varasiddhi Vinayakar with Consort Siddhi held at His left. Over this idol, we see a small Ganesh Idol. This was the original idol that was being worshipped at the original site. Subsequent developments took place rapidly, like, construction of an auditorium behind the praharam on the eastern side and Goshala. The Temple conducts music program during Vinayakar Chathurthi time in this auditorium, which is also permitted for the conduct of musical / cultural programs by other organizations.

Shankaracharyas of Kanchi and Sringeri guided the placing of the yantram on which the main deity is installed at the Varasiddhi Vinayaka Temple. Lord seems very happy here and is said to bestow all the people who comes to the temple and prays whole heartedly for the deliverence.
