Recenlty visited the Lord Parthasarathy Swamy Temple, located in Triplicane, Chennai. This temple dedicated to the Lord Vishnu. It’s one of the 108 Divya Desams and renovated by pallava kings in the early 8th century.
According to mythological references Brahmanda Puranam, this temple is known as “Brindaranyasthalam”, as the great seven Saptha Rishis – Bhrigu, Manchi, Atri, Markandeya, Sumathi, Saptharoma and Jabali performed Tapas (thavam) at this place. This place is also called as “Panja Veerathalam” praised by two Alwars – Thirumazhisai Alwar and Peyalwar.

The main Deity of this temple is Lord Venkatakrishna Swami also known as “Geethacharya”. According to Brahmanda puranam, the King Sumathy prayed Lord Thiruvengadam to give him darshan in the form of the Charioteer (Sarathy) to Partha (Arjuna) during the Mahabharata War and rendering Bhavath Geetha. Lord Thiruvengada appeared in his dream and asked him to go to “Brindaranya” – a forest of Thulasi Thiruvallikeni where the Lord Parthasarathy Swamy would bless him with Darshan.
