Kumili for many is a lush green hills in western ghats with meadows and pleasant winds.Kumizhi in Chennai, near Nallambakkam where Lord Shiva as Vedagirishwar and Goddess Parvathi as Tirupurasundari rest in a serene atmosphere to bless their children


Hilly Ride amidst Greenery 


Its a wonder that a small mountain range with placid lakes and green pathways is near Chennai’s IT corridor. The place is twenty minutes drive from Mambakkam (Vandalur-Kelambakkam Road) and half hour from Guduvancherry. One has to traverse through a reserve forest to approach Kumizhi Village. The Shiva temple is a mile from there on hills with beautiful lake on one side and green trees on the other side

Chennai’s Kailash 


After a mile surrounded by hills on three sides comes Tirupurasundari sameda Vedagirishwar temple. Lord Ganesha welcomes in both forms - a cute little stone Ganesh with a Vishwaroopa Vinayaga behind him . There is big Hanuman with a senate shrine. Nandi mandapam with the backdrop of the hill prepares our mind to supreme - Lord Vedagirishwar facing east and Goddess Tirupurasundari facing south are full of grace

There are separate shrines for Lord Valli Deivanai sameda Subramaniar , Goddess Durga, Lord Bhairavar, Chandran

Saroni Thadagam curing Skin Diseases


The temple pond - Saroni Thadakam cures Skin diseases including Leprosy. The clay of this pond is taken by devotees and applied to cure skin ailments. The pond never dries up and One walks up few meters able to realise the numerous channels that bring the medicinal waters to pond.



Naughty Monkeys

Senganoor Srinivasa Perumal Temple - Periyavachhan Pillai Birth place

Periyavachhan Pillai was a staunch devotee of Lord Tirumala Balaji. On his visit to Tirumala he was overwhelmed with Bhakthi and refused to return home




Lord Venkatesha took a form of a lad and advised Pillai to go back to his home town - Senganoor - and take care of his old parents. He gave  a Saalagrama (sacred stone bearing the divine mark of God) and asked to worship.


Pillai was returning with the Saalagrama of Lord Srinivasa and kept on the banks of River Kollidam to perform ablutions and when he returned the stone disappeared 




Pillai was struck with grief and started fasting to death.  Lord Srinivasa appeared in his dreams and asked him to dig the same spot where he kept Salagra which now took the form of a beautiful idol form (Archaavatar). 




Sri Periyavachan Pillai installed that Archavataar in Senganoor itself. The temple is about 13kms from Adhurai and 18 kms from Kumbakonam.


Senganoor is also birth place of Chandikeswara nayanar or Chandikeswarar and has a beautiful Shiva temple too
