This temple is on the way to Sri Visvaroopa Anjaneyar Temple in RamNagar of Nanganallur. After the dharshan of Sri Devi Karumari Amman, went to this temple. Deity : Sri Guruvayoorappan Some of the important features of this temple are... The temple is facing east with a entrance arch. Palipedam and Dwajasthambam are immediately after the front entrance. The sanctum sanctorum consists of sanctum and 4 pillar mandapam with a gap in front of the main shrine. The construction is very similar to Guruvayur temple of Kerala, not with wood but with concrete in kerala architecture. Out side sannadhi brass lamps are fixed like kerala temples. These lamps will be lit during Ekadesi, Pournami, Rohini and Astami days with special poojas. In the outer prakaram sannadhi for Sastha ie Iyappan, Prasanna Venkateswarar, Ganapathy, Navagrahas, Bhagavathy.

We had visited the temple for my daughter Anna prasannam. Have to call a day before and book. Car parking can be managed if no crowd. We were charged only Rs 300 and that too wit proper bill. All the elders in the temple were very helpful. We were give Milk payasam, And 3 cups of prasadham and a silk towel for our anna prasannam.. All males including kids should go in Dhoti and without shirt and all ladies to wear saree. Photographs strictly not allowed.. The rituals were very orderly and well planned and explained.. These days temple charge lot of money in name of pooja.. But here, Nothing like that.. in fact for Rs 300 charge , they give you more than that.. Temple os maintained well and for Anna prasannam need to be at 8 in morning. The experience was very divine and great. For Anna prasannam, I would recommend this temple any day.. Thank you to all the elders in the temple for a memorable experience..

Located in the midst of the vibrant neighborhood of Nanganallur, Sri Uththara Guruvayurappan temple is a unique one with a touch of calmness and serenity. The temple architecture resembles that of Kerala.. N.B. Men have to remove shirts while entering the temple. Make sure to have a look at this temple if you are visiting Hanuman temple at Nanganallur 😉

Awesome place for the baby solid food pooja, perfect place to start the baby food beginnings we can feel the kerala vibe there.

Good temple. Now renovation work is going on for kumbabhisekam

Kumbabishekam renovation work is going on. All the prathishtas they kept near by room

It's an excellent traditional Kerala style temple and the People those working here are very polite in behaviour. very peaceful and best place to visit. Men those entering in this temple should not wear Shirt or Baniyan. That is the mandatory thing in this temple like most of the temple in Kerala followed the same. But people standing outside of the temple always asking for help for their children's study. Dont provide anything for them because they are fake people and they will not spend that amount for their childrens' study.

A divine place where the temple though is managed privately has a special place in my heart. Especially in the evening when the lamps around the temple get lit by the devotees it's a divine experience.

It's in reconstruction now

Pleasant Experience. Om Namo Narayanan.

Good Dharshan powerful diety. Balalayam happened and picture of all Gods have been akuruthied . Kumbabisegam renovation work have started ,the concerned people of the temple feels it will take 6 months to 8 months to perform kudamuzhuku . My opinion they will do kudamuzhuku along with Vishu celebration ,during Malayalam and Tamil New Year. Enday Guruvayoorappa

A private temple.. Well maintained.. Surely, you will get a piece of mind...

Smaller version of original guruvayur temple. Serene atmosphere and very well maintained. Easily accessible by kids and elders.

Divine place. Peaceful location. Men need to remove shirt/banian to go inside.

Peaceful place, well maintained. Gents/boys not allowed with any kind of shirts. Due to covid, public are allowed only till outer circle (veli praharam)

Its a very devine place. You can park your vehicle in the nearby Roads. Due to COVID mask is mandatory and males have to remove the Shirts,banyan or Tshirt to enter Inside. You have to worship from Far As social distancing and Boundaries have made. Calm and Quiet place.

Very hygiene temple.. very good place to start the food to your baby...

This temple is meant to Feed kids for the first time, same like Guruvayoor temple. People who are unable to travel Guruvayoor can do the same formalities for babies here. Procedures are simple and Nambodiris guided us everything clearly. No photographs allowed and no shift for men. I carried a big white shoulder towel and wore dhoti just to avoid shyness. Neatly maintained, rules are strictly followed. The temple is within walking distance from the bus stop.

In nanganallur, easy to locate. the temple is peaceful and also has gaushala in the backyard. Similar to main Guruvayoor temple there is dresscode to be followed to enter the temple premises.

Small temple for Shri. Krishna. Well maintained. There is a Goshalaa attached to the temple. Gents can't go inside with a shirt. Similarly, no shorts allowed. Parking of vehicle only outside the temple, in the road.

We visited this temple for our son's annaprasanna ceremony.... Small and devine temple resembling Kerala temple. Prebooking before 2days must, fee =300₹ Timing :8am -9am Parents dresscode: saree and vesti compulsory.. Things provided: payasam, punjamrutham curd rice with papad will be served for baby...along with one towel.... Archani bag and payasam provided as prasadam.. They r really organized and well maintained.. If u r couples with no knowledge on what to do just book here and relax.. Cons: the priest will be bit strict 😁😅

Serene and calm place for worship. First time to enter the temple was quite exciting. Traditional architecture of Kerala style and neatness was first to attract. Deities are very small but hope they are powerful in showering their blessings upon us. Moorthy sirithu enraalum keerthi perithu.

Everyone should visit this place without fail in his lifetime. We went along with family. This Temple is Sree Guruvayurappan (Lord Vishnu), who bestows his immeasurable blessings on the devotees who visit this place.

The temple is situated nearby Nanganallur Anjaneyar temple. It is similar like Guruvayoor temple but they're not allowing for annaprasannam nowadays

An excellent temple in Nanganallur for Sri Utthara Guruvayurappan. A must see ritual in this temple is the morning rituals. All the archakas will do vishnu sahasranama stotram in the early morning. Abhishekam will be done to the main diety in the early morning. Later Sri Utthara Guruvayurappam will be decorated very well.

The phone number does not work. No response to the mail sent to the emailid in the website. Wanted to know the dates of Shri Sundara Kumar's Upansayams, in September.

Renovation works going on, hope it will be completed soon. Not allowed to go inside the temple. The main lord moved to a nearby building.

A peaceful atmosphere. Visited at 6.30 a.m. few people since it was raining. Parking for vehicles may be a problem since roads are very narrow all around.

Currently renovation going on

Utthara Guruvayoorappan Temple is very close to me for many reasons. I have been visiting there since 40 years. The temple is built on the same measurement of the original,but on a smaller scale. The sanctity and the rules are the same as in Guruvayoor. My father-in-law Sri T.V.AnantaramaSeshan was the chief priest of the temple till he passed away in November of 2010. The Deity is always on the ready to help the devotee.

Traditional Kerala type Pooja procedure are followed. Place with good/positive vibes. Place for peace and mental relaxation.

Lovely and good temple, to visit. Ladies bajan added flavor to the bhakti. Altogether a good temple to visit. Well maintained.

It's a beautiful temple inbetween anjenaya temple and vanuvampetai chruch.. gents should not wear shirt or t shirt inside the premises.. women with jeans and tops sleeves not allowed.. Ideal time morning 7 to 8.30 and eve 6.00 onwards....

A very blissful and divine place... Especially the deity of kutty guruvayoorappan is mesmerizing... Apart from the blissful and holy experience you get the best prasadam.... On dvadasi you can visit the temple to finish your morning பாரணை... Lunch

Wonderful Kerala Style temple , Had very good darshan, Like temples in kerala gents should remove the shirts before entering the temple. The Volunteers and Staff at the payment counter show their attitude while dealing with pilgrims , It took more than 45 minutes to make a Donation for the temple while there were just two people in the queue , they need to be trained better

Very good temple with vali, the person in the reception irrates like anything they should really take some step to change. Annaprasanam done here.

Sri Uttara Guruvayurappan temple is located in Ram Nagar, Nanganallur, Chennai. This temple came to be called ‘Uttara Guruvayurappan Temple’ since it is north of the original temple in Kerala and have the main deity Sri Guruvayurappan.The temple is based on Kerala architecture and the kumbabishekam was conducted on April 17, 1975. The namaskara mandapam have the idol of saint ‘Bilwamangal’ in the front. This is a pious place to visit and offer the prayers to Lord Guruvayurappan.

The temple is being managed by a private trust Gurvayoorappam Aasthika Samajam. The temple belongs to late 20th century. The Trust also runs a Ayurvedha Vaidyasala.

SRI GURUVAYOORAPPAN ASTHIKA SAMAJAM Nanganallur desired to construct a temple for Lord Sri. Guruvayoorappan and in order to ascertain the probability of constructing the Temple, an Asthamangala prasnam was conducted by Bhramasri Vishnu Nambudiri of Pudusseri. The prasnam revealed that about four centuries ago this area was a thick forest and many Tapasvies were dwelling here. It also brought to light the great saint from Kerala Sri BILWAMANGAL, one of the ardent devotee of Lord Sri Guruvayoorappan was among those saints doing tapas. Lord Sri. Guruvayoorappan presented himself in front of the saint, adorning Shangu, Chakram, Gadha, and Padmam and accepted a cup of fresh cow’s milk. Then as per the request made by the great saint, the Lord gave assurance that at a future date their would be a temple for the worship of the common men. Based on the prasnam, the Idols of Lord Sri Guruvayoorappan, Sri Bhagavathi Sri Prasanna Vinayaka, Sri.Dharma Sastha, Sri Sankarshana and the Navagrahas were made, taking granite from Trithala (Kerala) by Sri Unni Nambudiripad of Kanippaiyoor and all of them installed and the kumbhabhishekam was performed on 17th April 1975. As per the findings in the Astamangala Prasnam, the construction of the temple project is based on Kerala Architecture and an Idols of Saint Bilwamangal is installed in the Namaskara Mandapam. The Poojas are being performed thrice a day and SRIVELI is also brought out every day. Fresh, Unboiled, warm milk is the Pradhana Neyvedyam to Lord Sri Guruvayoorappan. Must have darshan.

Beautiful place

I had read a few comments before I went to this place saying the staffs are un friendly. But when I started talking they were very friendly and nice. I would like to say that they are working with no holidays just to serve God. Take time to know others before we brand them to be rude.

Very calm, neatly maintained, worship place, far off from the city suburb. Good place to visit on festival days.

Lively place to visit for divine experiences. We went on pournami day and had experience of lighting the deepams around the temple. It was memorable.

A well maintained and frequently visited temple. I wish they could improve the visiting pathways a little better. You can offer donations to Guruvayoor temple with multiple payment options. Must visit I you are a Krishna Devote.

Very nice temple. Booked for Anna prasannam for my granddaughter. Person at counter advises us to follow covid norms, which is of course essential for our healthy life.

Sri Utthara Guruvayoorappan lord is another avatar of Lord Vishnu. Its located in nanganallur. The main sanctum is very beautiful and generates a positive energy. The temple is well maintained neat and clean place to worship. There is a rule to be followed for men bhaktas, they need to remove their shirt/tshirt and then only they are allowed to worship the lord inside. I highly recommend this temple.

First experience.Very beautiful temple and had annadhanam that was really good.I pour oil for some of the lamp ,that was pleasant to mind.

Blissful temple filled with lots of postive vibesss.

Nice traditional temple. Very powerful Giruvayoorappan.

The temple was very peaceful. Boys need to enter the temple topless. Car parking may be tough at peak times. One among the many temples in its surroundings.

The temple, known as Uttara Guruvayurappan Temple, is situated in Nanganallur, Chennai. The main deity is Lord Guruvayurappan, similar to the one at Guruvayur Temple in Kerala. The temple timings are from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the mornings and from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the evenings. Poojas are conducted in Kerala style. There are Sannadhis for Lord Ganesh, Lord Ayyappa, Goddess Bhagavathi and for Perumal. A neat and clean temple. Dress code is strictly followed. Traditional attire is a must for females. Males should remove their shirts before entering the temple . Prasadams are distributed to all devotees during the evenings. Annaprasanam and Akshrabhyasam are conducted on request. On special occasions, the entire temple precincts are lit with oil lamps, which is a feast to the eyes of the devotees. They have a Mandapam also nearby, which is offered for conducting discourses and other functions against payment.

Neatly maintained. Prasatham also good. Only thing, they insisting to unwear the shirts in the temple even if the male children is about 3 years old. If possible the temple committee may amend the rule if any regarding the unwear of shirt to the male children upto the age of 9.

Kerela style temple. A sacred atmosphere. Hindu Festivals are celebrated in a grand way. Annaprashnam ( first feeding of food) for new born kids is very special ritual here.

We went for our granddaughter's Anna prasanam.. very well organised and very much satisfying ocassion... We even saw thulabaram and aksharabyasam conducted in this divine place... Adding to the sanctity was chanting Srimad narayaneeyam in the hall 🙏🙏🙏🙏

You (gents)enter the premises without shirt and you will be in a Kerala model temple...kutty guruvayurappan is so sweet to have darshan..a must temple visit at nanganallur

Gho pooja is done daily at 6.30. one can pay 100 rs or so one or two days before and perform. 10. Am temple deities are taken as a procession around the temple, so there is a gap of 1/2 an hour when Darshan and Circumbulation is not allowed Refer to the temple website for details of pooja fees All poojas are done to the fullest satisfaction of devotees Thulabaram facility is available, wearing traditional dress is necessary for this.

I did the annaprasnnam for my daughter and it was a satisfying experience. I understand that the officials are dealing with people everyday, but they could be a little more polite.

Had a very good experience for my son's Annaprassanam ! The temple is maintained neat and clean.

Such a nice and peaceful temple. They are following almost all the rituals like Guruvayoor

Uthara Guruvayoorapan Temple, Devotees who are not able to travel Guruvayur complete their offerings and perform poojas here. Could feel the divine blessings of lord Guruvayurappan. Must visit place in Chennai.

A small but well maintained temple. Well known for annapayasam for kids. Book appointment before 3 days and it will cost you 300 INR. Just don't take photos around temple, they strictly don't allow that.

It does give you the actual guruvayoor temple vibe and the prasadam offered is very good they have a goshala in the midst of a busy town and especially the go mathas are well taken care of with proper ventilation and fans.

This is a small temple and has Lord Vishnu as the presiding deity. There is a Ayyapaswamy shrine and Lord Narayana shrine outside the main shrine. Puja worship is conducted in this temple just like Guruvayoor Kerala temple. When we visited we could see Kalabha abhishegam here to Lord Narayana. Many devotees offer Tulabaram to Guruvayoorappan for their kids. The temple is near Anjaneyar temple Nanganallur.

A nice calming place.. you can contribute to Goshala maintained by the temple.. if you get a chance to light up around the temple, you will get a beautiful experience

Beautiful temple in kerala style at nanganallur for Guruvayoorappan. Very calm and satisfying place for worship. Payasam is the prasadam given to all devotees.

Its a wonderful place to worship The Lord Guruvayoor Aiyappan in Chennai. Ypu feel so blessed and fully devine when you visit this place.
