Jalakanteswarar Temple

Nice , serene place inside the IIT Madras campus. This is Lord Shiva's temple and occasional sightings of deer in the temple premises can be found.

One of the best Shiva temples have known in the Adyar area since my school days...Goddess Karthiyayini and Lord Jalakanteshwarar sit majestically in the midst of deers and forest greenary in IIT. An excellent place to meditate and get the blessings of Lord Shiva. The temple Kumbhabhishekam was performed by none other than Sri Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal along with Sri Sri Vijayendra Saraswathi Swamigal in 2014. Come and visit and be blessed with bountiful blessings of the Lord & Goddess.

Temple is located inside the IIT MADRAS Premises(Near main Gate).During sivarathri and Prathosam special poojas made are really awesome.Here Place is very clean and green environment.Every time I'm visited this temple i always seen deers inside the temple.We can feed the food to the deers.Deers are always quit cal here.
I luv this environemnt

A divine place amidst Sylvan beauty .Not many in Chennai have had the luck to have worshipped here.Saint Appaiah DEEKSHITHAR is said to have been the driving force for consecrating the LINGAM which was formerly submerged in a lake “ Vedashroni” .The name has gotten transformed into VELACHERI today.
Deers roam around as you worship quietly in this temple.
I long to pray here as much as possible.
Goddess Kathyayini Lord Ganesha Hanuman Ayyappan & Navagraha , all have their sannidhis here .
I wish you be blessed to have Darshan soon 🙏

Week 212 - Sri Devi Kathyayanii Ambal Samedha Sri Jalakandeswarar Temple, IIT Madras Campus, Adyar, ChennaiA beautiful Shiva temple in a serene environment and away from the city disturbances within the IIT campus premises surrounded by lush greenery. Sri Jalakandeswarar apparently was recovered from earth while during civil work evacuation when infrastructural developments happened here in early fifties. So it is said to be a 300 to 400years old tenple. An excellent place to meditate and get the blessings of Lord Shiva. The temple Kumbhabhishekam was performed by none other than Sri Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal along with Sri Sri Vijayendra Saraswathi Swamigal from the Kanchi Kamakoti madam in 2014.Occasionally one can sight deer coming closer to the temple premises and people do try to feed it. Along with sivan temple there are separate Sannidhi gor lord Rama, Krishna, Hanuman
and Ayyappan. Navagraha Sannidhi can also present. Absolutely a peaceful place for quite contemplation and meditation and a must to visit temple for people in Chennai.

A devine spot in forest environment. Lovely deers will come to you to share your "prsdsdam". V visit to this temple will be an unforgettable experience.

Located within the lush green campus of IITM, it's one of the most peaceful places in the city.
