There is a famous temple situated in Porur, Chennai, and this temple is dedicated to Ma Durga, and in this temple, Ma Durga is also called as Sri Durga Lakshmi Saraswati, in order to establish that all the Tridevi are one and the same.
Temple Address: Santosh Nagar, Madhanandapuram, 46, Ramachandra St, Porur, Chennai– 600116.
This temple contains separate shrines for the Tridevi, and the construction of this temple was completed in the year 2000. The Consecration ceremony of the temple was done in the year 2000, and from then onwards to till date, Pujas are being perfectly done. Navarathiri festival is the main festival celebrated at this temple, and it would be grandly celebrated with music programmes and Yagnas, and Kalyana Utsavam for the deities are also being done during the Auspicious Navarathiri festival days.
This nice temple is administered by the Temple Trust, and the main objective of the trust is to maintain the temple properly, and also social welfare activities are being taken care of by the management of the Trustees like providing food, education and medical aid to the poor and the needy.
The temple trust also encourages music and dance concerts, and during festival days, music and dance concerts also would be held in this temple. Apart from the shrines of the Tridevi, shrines for Sri Vinayagar, Sri Murugar, and Navagrahas are also present in this temple.
Tridevi are also considered as famous deities, since without the Shakti element, the Trimurti cannot function independently. Tridevi contain half of the powers of the Trimurti, and they show more love and affection on their devotees, than that of the Trimurti, since Tridevi act as the divine mother for all of their devotees. At the present Kaliyuga, without keeping bhakti on the deities, we would not be able to run our life smoothly. Hence let us visit this wonderful temple at least once in our life time, and let us be blessed.
