One of the very old and beautiful temple in Chennai which you shouldn’t miss. Its very near to Thiruvotriyur Theradi Metro Station which is hardly a 5m walk. Try to reach as early as possible as the temple staff will sharply close the temple by 12PM urging the devotees to move out. It takes min 1hour to visit all the shrines inside temple. Lord Adhipuriswarar is covered in a Box with Nagabaranam on top. Seems like the box is removed and darshan of the lord is provided only for 3days starting from Karthigai full moon. There is separate shrines for Lord Thiruvotreeswarar and Thyagaraja Swamy. Vaduvudai Amman is also in separate shrine near to the Raja Gopuram and its bliss to watch when you buy ₹25/head special dharshan ticket. This temple also hosts shivalingam for each of the 27stars. There is a pond inside and outside the temple. Pond inside the temple has water and some fishes too. There is a Goshala inside temple and you can feed them as well. Its very big beautiful temple with trees while few shrines inside it could have been maintained better. Shrines like Annamalaiar and the near by shrines dont have much maintenance and they have dumped waste wood and products nearby causing some bad smell. It could be cleared and maintained well. There is a Prasadham counter inside temple from which you can buy eatables and its fine. Reach early and if you have time sit nearby the (Nagar statues) Neem and Peepal tree, it was so calming with fresh air!

This temple was constructed during pallava period and extended during rajendra chola l period! The shiv ling inside the temple is a swayambu lingam formed by sand.. Goddess vadivudai amman is very powerful here.. there are lingams for all 27 nakshatras in order.. adhipureeswarar, thyagarajar, thiruvotteeswarar, agasalingar are main deities of temple.. this was a workship place for pattinathar and it was also his birth place.. bhairavar has a seperate shrine inside d temple.. it is one of the most important shiva temples in chennai city after Mylapore kabalishwarar.. must visit and get the blessings of shiv and vadivudai amman 🙏🏻

Very divine and under estimated temple We can feel the vibe, though it's far away from the city, it's good to visit once to see the Lord Shiva in a different cover than normal linga. Temple needs to improve in cleanliness and maintain the timing.

Famous saints like Pattinathar, Topeswamigal and Ramalinga Swamigal lived in this town and prayed Thyagaraja in this temple. This place is also home to Thiruvottiyur Thyagayyar who is a Carnatic composer and poet.

The correct place to connect your souls is here. Divine place it is. When you enter this temple you can see the Vadivudai temple. But, Don't go there first, You have a lot more gods to see before that. Of course, Lord Vinayaga and Muruga are always there to see first, and then you go and see Thiyagaraya Swamigal (Urchavar). Then you and see Arthapureeshwar (Mulavar) sumambu. Can't see on normal days, only three days in a year you are allowed to see. After this many lord shiva lingam with different names were available for worship. I recommend you meditate here because it is such a divine area to energize yourself with full of positive vibe. Once you see all the lord Siva lingam, your path automatically findings to Vadivudai the main temple. Vadivudai Amman (Gyana Sakthi) temple is such a beautiful God. When you see her face in three lamps on both the side right and left, You forget about yourself and devoted yourself to God. Such a divine face and attracting us more vibe during your darshan. When you visit this temple, I recommend praying for increasing intelligence or knowledge for your son or daughter. Yes, she helps us to increase our knowledge in terms of your basic needs as well as identify you. She helps you find who are you. The Actual real term Gyana Sakthi ( ஞான சக்தி) is always helping humans to realize about you. Hence, I recommend you ask to help her to identify you or ask help her to find answers about who are you. She helps you. She is our mother and she always helps us without any reason. she is always ready to help us though we did many mistakes.

Oldest temple of above 1K year, always crowded with devotees. All Pooja items r available here & one more main temple is located very short of this temple is Vada Guru sthalam (வட குரு ஸ்தலம்)

Normal situations thousands of devotees throng the temple for this rare view dharshan.But this year 2020, being a pandemic year considering the norms to be followed like social distancing, avoiding crowded places the number of devotees at any pount of time was only in hundreds.But that is a blessing for the peoples who took risks and turned for dharshan.They had peaceful hassles free dharshan.Hope the years to come become a normal crowded dharshan.The day of my dharshan was on 30/11/2020 and the event is from 29/11/20 to 1/12/2020.

Very beautiful 7th century temple . Sculpture and architecture is amazing. Very friendly n nice Poojary's. We fed the cows and enjoyed walking in the compound visiting the other temples. Only issue is there should be a board with the history of the temple in Hindi n English for people who don't know Tamil.

What a temple, felt very sacred. A large very ancient one. Adi Shankara is said to have visited the vadivudai Amman temple. Alankarams of the deities were very beautiful. I wished to know the Sthalapuranam but not available. The authorities can do something about it. Temple upkeep is quite good. It could be made a bit more disabled friendly. A cultural program by Saravanalaya was going on which kept the devotees entertained.

Vadivudaiamman showers her Blessings along with Thiagarajaswamy in this unique temple. For all the 27 Nakshatras,you have 27 shivlingas here. A must visit for all Shiva and Ambal worshippers.

A few minutes walk from thiruvottiyur theradi metro station, this very important temple is a blessing on the city. It has shiva in all different forms and of different locations (akasha lingam of chidambaram, annamalaiyar, tiruvanikkaval etc) and a sannidhi for vadivudaiyamman.

Wonderful temple. Need min of two hours to have darshan of every Sannathi. Metro travel would be more comfortable.

One of the oldest temple and powerful Lord siva and many other temple s also include inside the temple.

One of the most ancient temples in Chennai. Very peaceful.

Thyagaraja Temple (also called as Vadivudai Amman Temple) is a Hindu temple dedicated to Hindu god Shiva. It is located in Tiruvottiyur in the northern part of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The temple is revered by the Tevaram hymns of Saiva nayanars, the 7th century Tamil saint poets and classified as Paadal Petra Sthalam. All the Three of Thevaram Moovar (Appar, Samandar and Sundarar) has rendered Thevaram songs in this temple. The temple is closely associated with the saint poet Sundarar and Pattinathar. The temple has been in vogue from the Pallava times of the 7th century and widely expanded by Chola kings during the 11th century. The temple has a seven tiered gateway tower, a tank, with the overall temple area covering 1 acre. The temple is administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the Government of Tamil Nadu. The temple draws parallel with the Thygaraja temple in Tiruvarur as both the temples were expanded by Rajendra Chola I and both have the same dance poses of Shiva. The temple is one of the 51 Sakthi Peetams in the country

This temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, it’s a huge temple complex in the northern part of Chennai Tiruvottiyur. Must visit shrine when your in Chennai, only issue is with parking space, since it’s pretty much crowded locality.

The Arulmigu Thiyagarajaswamy Temple in Tiruvottiyur holds a rich history and diverse traditions, making it a place of unique significance. Its story is intertwined with Tondaiman, a devoted follower of Lord Shiva, who undertook a remarkable endeavor. In 750 A.D., Tondaiman restored the Thiagarajaswamy Temple, leaving an indelible mark. He worked tirelessly on its renovation, creating several shrines within its sacred premises, including Vadivudai Amman, Gunalaya Vinayagar, Vattapparai Amman, Valarkali Amman, Arul Jothi Murugan, Akasalingam, Sahasralingam, and the 27 Natchktras. Additionally, he was instrumental in constructing the temple's grand gopuras and walls. Tondaiman's dedication didn't end there. He procured 500 shivalingas and brought 500 austere Brahmins from Kasi to reestablish the temple, adhering to the agama texts. His contributions also extended to organizing the Tirukkadalattu, a remarkable water festival held during Masi Magam. Tondaiman's generosity was evident as he donated extensive lands and towns to the temple. As a result, the Arulmigu Thiyagarajaswamy Temple, housing an awe-inspiring five-tiered Raja gopuram, is believed to be approximately 1,500 years old. At its core, the temple features a distinctive Swayambu lingam, ingeniously designed in the shape of an anthill, flanked by Lord Mahavishnu on the right and Lord Brahma on the left. A special practice here is the offering of abhishekam, a ritual of devotion, exclusively to the Avudayar (base) of the lingam, rather than directly to the lingam itself. On the full moon day in the Tamil month of Karthikai, the temple unveils the lingam, removing its covers. During these three days, devotees can revere and offer their prayers to Lord Shiva in this unique anthill-like form. It is believed that this period marks a time when Lord Vishnu, Lord Brahma, and the serpent Vasuki pay homage to Lord Shiva. The temple presents another intriguing facet – it adheres to a theme of duality. Within its sanctum, everything exists in pairs: two presiding deities, Sri Adhipureeswarar and Sri Otreeswarar; two goddesses, Sri Vadivudai Amman and Sri Vattaparai Amman; two sacred trees, Athi and Makizham; two sacred theerthams, Brahma and Adhisesha theerthams; and two distinct pooja procedures, Karana and Kameeka. Notably, it is one of the seven temples (Saptha Vidanga) in Thondai Nadu where one can witness the divine dance of Lord Thiyagaraja, known as Ananda Thandavam. This gives rise to the temple's name, Ananda Thiyagesar. The temple is a part of the Tri-Shakti temples, representing Itcha, Kriya, and Gnana Shakthis. Among these, Sri Vadivudai Nayaki at Thiruvotriyur is celebrated as Gnana Shakti. The other two Shakti shrines are Thiruvudai Nayaki at Melur and Kodi Idai Nayaki at Vada-Thirumullaivayil. All three idols are believed to have been crafted by the same sculptor. Worshiping these three goddesses together, particularly on the full moon day, at morning, midday, and evening, is believed to bring manifold blessings. Legend has it that Lord Shiva's dance pattern in Thiruvottriyur mirrors that of Thiruvarur, continuing the divine tradition. Lord Maha Vishnu, who missed witnessing the dance in Thiruvarur, is said to have been directed by Lord Thiyagaraja to observe it in Thiruvottriyur. This extraordinary performance is believed to have been witnessed by celestial beings, including Lord Mahavishnu, Lord Brahma, Romarishi, Vanmiki Rishi, Serpent Vasuki, and Chandran. The temple carries a belief that Lord Shiva blessed Sage Agasthiar with a sacred vision during his wedding. It is also considered that all 27 Nakshatrams (constellations) came here to seek absolution and reside in the temple as individual Shiva lingams. Visitors can view all 27 Shiva lingams, each representing a Nakshatram, in the temple's corridors. This temple boasts historical significance as the place where Kavi Chakravarthi Kambar is believed to have translated the Valmiki Ramayan from Sanskrit to Tamil. The legend includes the Goddess Vattaparai Amman assisting Kambar in his work by taki

Lord a/m sri thiyagarajar&a/m sri vadivambigai ammai &other deities aborded here to guard their devoties with Theirs Almighty of power. Big temple surrounded by enormous place to pray God.

You can experience a strong sense of devotion here. Compared to other Shivlingams, this one is very large and unique. It's definitely worth a visit.

Brahma Deva, Lord of the Flood, offered to make his request. With the success of the yagya, Lord Shiva emerged from the Yagam and prevented it from happening. Thus this place is known as the Thiruvottiyur in the sense of uniting the deluge. As Vambheegi heard the Ramayana in the day and wrote it at night, Kali is the one who freezes the unicorn! Good night to write good Bind without bond! That was the place where Kaliman was bonded and helped to write the Gambar Ramayana.

Excellent

Very big temple. Has panca Lingas. Tyagaraja goes out in the morning. Chandrasekhar this out in the evening and will return before sunsets. Vadivukkarasi aka vadivudai Amman is a treat to eyes. Now brahmotsavam is in progress. That means everyday evening all the deities will come out in different vahanas.. Must see .

Majestic place...

Good

One of the most ancient temples for Shiva visited by several Saints and Savants. There are several shrines dedicated to all the deities. You need atleast an hour to see the entire complexwhen there is not much rush. The Amman temple inside the complex is very popular. The temple attracts a lot of crowd during festivals and weekends. So visiting the temple during off-peak hours will be helpful.

Nice
