Description
Located at Besant Nagar, Arupadai Veedu Temple attracts a lot of people from across the globe. While Lord Murugan is the famed lord in Tamil Nadu but you would rarely find all the six avtaars of the Lord under one roof. This rare form can be found at Arupadai Veedu Temple. Depicting the life of Lord Murugan, these statues portray him as an angry child, one worshipping Lord Shiva, giving advice to his father, and marrying Deivayaanai to destroying the asura (demon). This temple allows pilgrims to worship all the different phases of the Lord in one shrine. Visitors often feel that visiting the Arupadai Veedu Temple equals visiting six different temples together.
