and Siruseri in OMR. Srinivasa Temple Gopuram can be seen on the left side
of OMR when you are proceeding towards Siruseri from Sholinganallur.
Rajagopuram and other Sannidhi Gopuram can be clearly seen from OMR
itself.
A
clearly visible temple name board is mounted on the Prahara walls of
temple and this can be clearly seen from OMR thereby facilitating devotees to

all-important IT corridor over a 20 Square Kms radius - a sacred and ancient
place of worship in a modern setting.
