Doddacharpuram Temple Renovation
The village of Kaliappettai, otherwise known as Doddacharpuram, is on the western side of the River Palar and at a distance of 8 KMs from Chengalpattu town. The village has a Vishnu temple whose presiding deity is the moola vigraham of Sri Lakshmi Narayana (moolavar only). The temple also houses Sri Venugopala Swamy with His consorts Rukmani and Sathyabhama, Senkamala Thayar, Sri Karvanathullan with His consorts, Sri Chakrathazhwar, Nammazhwar, Thirumangai Azhwar, Swamy Emperumanar and Sri Manavala Mamunigal whose idols were installed in the temple in various periods. The history of the village dates back to nearly five hundred years and the temple had all along been witnessing daily thrikala poojas, thirumanjanams and grand annual festivals for the deities as per the agama shastras. This temple is currently in a very dilapidated condition and needs support from all Bhagavathas for speedy restoration to its old glory.
