Singeeswarar Temple

It was really surprising to me when I came to know that this temple was built 1050 years ago by descendant of Karikala Cholan.

You can reach this place by 2/4 wheeler. It is approx 22kms from Empee distillers. All you need to do is go on the straight road to reach this place.

Though there is hardly any crowd, Temple is well maintained. Surroundings were clean and there is enough greenery inside the temple. They have enough place for you to conduct functions like marriage ceremony & serve food inside the premises.

Since it is away from city, arranging food would be difficult as you need to go to koot road to fetch tjem. If you come prepared, you can have a nice time here & get the blessings of The Almighty.

A beautiful temple in Mapedu. The temple is famous shrine for moola star born people. Of you're a moola star born person, this is the temple you need to visit. It is easily accessible from the chennai arakanoam highway. The entrance is few yards from the highway. You can travel using car here. It's been built by chola empire. And the Vinayagar statue here is 5000 year old. The temple timings is based on the crowd. During my visit the temple closed by 6.30 pm itself. So if you are planning to visit, I will say plan to visit between 5 to 6 pm. I am not sure about the morning timings in this temple.

Moola Nakshatra Parihara Sthalam. The Temple is said to have been built by the Chola King Aditya Karikaala Chozha in the year 967 AD.
The Nandhi (by name “Singhi”) failed to enjoy the divine dance performed by Lord Shiva at Thiruvalangadu as he was so engrossed in playing the Mridangam. Nandhi wanted to see HIS dance again and worshipped here. Lord Shiva danced here (Meiped) in accordance with the devotion of “Singhi”. Hence, Lord is called as “Singhi + Eswarar = Singeeswarar”.
Must visit temple.
I have visited this temple several times with 2nd Sep 2016 being my first visit.

Excellent feeling inside the temple. Currently undergoing renovation (balalayam) and will be fully open only on 18th Jan 2023.

Very beautiful temple located right on the main road. History of Nandi worshipping here to see the dance performed by Lord Shiva. Also Moolam Natchathiram’s parihara sthalam. Must visit.

Divinely place. Calm and nice atmosphere. Very famous Shivan temple. Nicely maintained.

Shri Singeeswarar Shiva temple is in final stages of renovation. Kumbabhishekam on 15th Jan 2023. The temple is just 200 mtrs south of Chennai Arakkonam highway near Mappedu, about 45kms from Chennai. Special place of prayer for Moola natchatram.

Very peaceful and well maintained temple despite bringing very less crowd to the temple generally. See if you can contribute to the temple and priest in some way.

Singeeswarar, Koovam Shivan and Narasingapuram Lakshmi Narasimha Perumal temple are all situated within few miles from each other. Plan your trip accordingly.
