Navagraha guru sthalam near chennai

Feb 2020

The temple is on a narrow lane in pour in chennai. The main deity is shiva worshipped as ramanatheswarar as the legend goes as when ramar came here in search of sit he felt the strong vibration of Lord shiva presence here and so ramar sat on meditation. Lord shiva came in person and blessed and guided ramar to achieve his incarnation. Since shiva guided ramar here this is a guru sthalam. The goddess is sivakama sundari. This is also called as uthara rameswararam. Like vishnu temples here devotees will be blessed with the theertham and jadari. There is a separate shrine for kalabhairavar.

This is a guru sthalam

Jan 2020

We are told this is one of the navagraha temples around chennai and a guru sthalam. There is a separate sanctum near the entrance where ramar worships lord shiva indicating that lord ram worshipped shiva here on his exile.

Navagraha temple in Chennai - Large Lingam

May 2019 • Family

Sri Ramanaadheswarar Temple is one of the Navagraha temples in Chennai denoting Lord Guru. The temple hosts a Large Lingam and is a Guru Parikaara sthalam. The temple is very special for it represents Lord Shiva as the Guru for Raama and hence the name. Goddess is Sri Sivakaama Sundhari. Sri Rama worshiped Lord Shiva to give away his sins as his legs touched the Linga. Sri Rama accepted Lord Shiva as his guru and understood the directions to reach Srilanka to recover Sita.

The temple is quite big and so is the Lingam.

Temple timing:

6 AM - 11:30 AM
5 PM - 8:30 PM
