to Sri Babaji. The temple also has pictures of the other Kriya Yoga Masters -

To reach
Babaji Temple, You have to board Bus Route No. 55N or 583C from Tambaram Bus
Stand (Opposite to the Tambaram Railway Station). Get down at Malaipattu. You
have to go on foot from here, as there is no mode of transportation, for the
journey. As you travel for a distance of approximately 1 km you will come
across a 16-20 foot Anjaneya idol and a Perumal Temple built by Muralidhara
Swamigal. At a distance of about 1.5 Km from there you can see a bunk shop and
a cycle repairing shop. Besides the shop is a concrete foot path (wide enough
for a car or jeep to tread) right to the gate of the estate. Travel down
straight. You will reach another big gate. Don’t enter the gate. Take the small
path on the left. You will reach the calm and vibrating abode of Babaji.
