Anjaneyar Temple, Perumber Kandigai, Kanchipuram
Anjaneyar
Temple is dedicated to Hindu God Anjaneya located at Perumber Kandikai Village
in Kanchipuram District. This is a very ancient temple without any roof. Villagers
have tried many times to construct a roof over the deity but failed. There
is a popular belief among them that Sri Anjaneya Swami is growing in size, as
days pass by.
The name
of the village itself is very unique, Perum + Peru + Kandigai, meaning that one
should be very fortunate in order to take birth in this village. This village
is situated approximately 5 Kms from Achirappakkam (a small town in Chennai –
Tiruchy national Highway).
It is
said that during ancient times, there were nearly 33 temples in this village.
As days passed on, most of them got damaged due to various reasons and only a
few among them were left.
