Hi All,

I would like to list few temples and the location here for devotees.

Kurai therkum Govindhan Alayam - In OMR Road located in between Navalur and SIPCOT in the main road, Which is 1800 years old
Here you can darshan Ramar, Narthana Krishnan and Vishnu.

Thiruvidanthai - Here you can darshan Sri Nithyakalyanaperumal.
Sage Markandeya and King Mahabali had visited the kshetram. Even today many pilgrims come here and get the blessings of Lord Nithyakalyana Perumal. Those who wants to get married would be offering two garlands to Lord. After Puja, the priest would give one of the garlands. The person should wear that garland and do Pradakshinam. This is practiced, so that marriage would be fixed soon to the bhaktas.

This is one of the temple listed in 108 Divya desam.
This temple is located in Thiruvidanthai, 2 to 3 KM from Kovalm.

Sthalasayana Perumal at Mamallapuram - you can have a darshan of Lord Vishnu without his weapons, the Sanku and the Chakra, and without his customary "bed", Adi Sesha, is somehow a humbling experience. God Lying on the ground with one hand supporting his head here.The temple being referred to is the "Sthalasayana Perumal" temple in Mamallapuram, which has been described by the Azhwars as "ThiruKadalmallai". It has a quiet charm about it and, considering that it was built 600 years ago. Thirukadalmallai is one of the 108 Divya Desams.

pratyankara devi temple which is on the road connecting OMR and Shollinganallur
I feel its a must see temple...some gods that are there in this temple, we would have never heard even their names before...

Sri Maha Pratyangira Devi is a powerful Devi who is said to have destroyed Sarabheswara's arrogance. Sarabheswara is a ugra avatar of Siva. She is also known as Narasimhika [ in Kalisahasranama Stotram] : She who is the Ferocious Half Human Half Lion of Courage. It is said that when Narashimhika shake her Lion's Mane, she throws the stars into disarray. She is enveloped as bliss in the letter "Ksham".

Sri Pratyangira Devi is also associated with Sri Cakra. She is considered to be a powerful repellent of the influences generated by witch-craft
