Maduranthakam

Madurantakam ([madɯɾaːn̪daɡam]) is the southernmost suburb of Chennai city and a municipality in Chengalpattu district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

In two of his poems, Manavala Mamunigal asks everyone who wants to cast away his past sins to worship the Lord at this place.

There are separate shrines for Lakshmi Narasimhar, Periya Nambi and Ramanuja, Andal, Sudarsana and Vedanta Desika.

Madurantakam is serviced by a local bus network that facilitates connectivity within the town and neighboring villages.

All buses operate from the centrally located Bus stand in the town center.

Additionally, the State Express Transport Corporation runs buses linking Madurantakam to various destinations such as Chennai, Chengalpattu, Kanchipuram, Uthiramerur, Thirukazhukundram, as well as locations along the ECR routes like Cuddalore, Cheyyur, Chithamur, and Chunampet.

The Comprehensive Transportation Study proposed to extend some Chengalpattu bound EMUs to Maduranthakam.

The Kodandaramaswamy temple has two sets of utsavar idols of the presiding deity and His consort, and Lakshmana.

This shrine was built by an English Collector, Colonel Lionel Blaze who assured the people that he would build a shrine for Devi if the newly built surplus water weirs withstood the fury of monsoon rains.

The construction of the shrine for the Goddess began the very next morning and the Lord is known as Eri Katha Ramar as he saved the tank bund from collapsing.
