A quick visit to temples ❤️πŸ™πŸ»


 


Our plan was to visit Lakshmi Kuberar Temple which is located near Vandalur. We paid Rs 100 for Pooja and got back 2 green scared thread, green kumkum, Lakshmi Kuberar card and a book explaining the temple. If we buy Kuberar coins from the store inside the temple, you can directly keep the coin on Kuberar idol(which is placed in a beautiful fish and turtle mini pool) pray, rub his tummy and take back the blessed coin home.


In the same street there were few more small temples. We planned to visit them too. First is  Kali amman temple, they said they won't accept any money(no Hyundiyal was found in the temple) instead we can contribute for "Anna Dhanam".  After contributing for Anna Dhanam they gave us Kali Amman picture and kumkum along with the receipt. Next to it was Sai Baba temple, but we didn't get inside the temple.


We were thirsty so bought 2 lemon Nannari, after having the refreshment went to Araikasu Amman temple, which is also in the same street. They said they provide food(Anna Dhanam) to 100 people daily. 108 Amman idols were placed around the main deity Araikasu Amman. This temple is famous for finding out our lost things. Pray sincerely about the lost things and it is believed that we will find it soon. Bought the Araikaasu kit from the priest and headed back home.


All these small temples are well maintained and neat. It is said that, the temples are crowded on auspicious days. A must visit temples near Chennai.
