The place seems so hi fi with marbles and rude staffs, there are ppl employed in the temple who behaves as typical employees, and an employee outside the temple - you must pay him for something or other, else you will treated as ppl eaten in hotel and couldn't pay for it. I was in a journey of visiting 28 different shivan temples in 28 days, this was the only worstestttttt option, which extended my list to 29 temples including an alternative temple. I have given rating 5 for all the temples which were so divine

Very Spiritual and positive environment... Pradosham pooja's are very nicely done...

Right in the city centre in mahalingapuram in Chennai, a grand Lord Shiva temple. Definitely worth a visit. Closes at 8 pm.

When I saw it, something flashed in me

Great temple

A peaceful Shiva Temple with Raamar, Guruvayurappan & Anjeneyar too. It does NOT have a hundi. We should give our contributions & get receipt. Lamps will be sold within the Temple itself. Located on the main road itself but has sufficient parking on the side road.

A temple of Bhagwan Shiva on the main road at Mahalingapuram. There is other deities along with Bhagwan Shiva like Devi,Murugan, Ganesh, Navagraha.

Best time to visit the temple is at 7:00 am. BrahatSundaraKusambal is adorned beautifully. One will realise as if she is standing very much lively! Visited persons will understand this. Very calm temple... Less money minded vathiyaars.

A good Shaivite temple with friendly priests and a good welcoming atmosphere. It could be a bit cleaner. Great selection of deities, with enough vaishnavite deities as well with a committed and devoted staff. Perfect for a quick and intimate meeting with the almighty.

A temple very close to my heart. A sanctified place that leaves you very spiritual. The archakas are very friendly. The alankaram is very beautiful, done with a lot of care. The cleanliness part leaves a lot to be desired.

One of our favorite temple to have peaceful darshan. It's quite and no disturbance even if you sit for two hours in front of GOD. All are treated equally. Praying to HIM to have this place like this. Regards

The Temple is Divine and Lord Ganesha is very powerful. I have very nice and precious memories of this Temple. I lived in Mahalingapuram for 20+ years, and have visited this temple numerous times on all important festivals and to seek the Gods' blessings and pray for success in my school exams, board exams and my Univ. exams as well. This attachment to the Temple over a period of 20+ years made the "Pillayar Kovil" an integral part of my life. My impression (using the present tense, although it is long since I left Chennai) is that the shrines are very well maintained and the priests do a sincere and thorough job of the archanas and other rituals. The lighting inside the Temple is very good, and the information board is always updated with details of important festivals and events. The priests are very helpful and courteous. The statues of the Saivite saints are very artistic and beautiful to look at. Saturday is special for Lord Hanuman, and there are always some special pujas performed (Butter Alankaram, Vadamala, Betel Leaves mala etc.) for Lord Hanuman on Saturdays. Hope I can visit this Temple sometime during my next visit to Chennai.
