Srinivasa Temple or the Vedantha Desikar Devasthanam (SVDD) near Chitra Kulam, Mylapore, is being given a facelift now. A number of thiruppani works will be carried out in the premises in the next few months. Baalalayam will be performed today (Oct. 28) between 9 a.m. and 10.30 a.m. Poojas will be performed to the deities, which are kept in a special praharam inside the temple premises.
The trustees have decided to spruce up the premises after a gap of 17 years (Samprokshanam was performed in 1995). A vimanam is being built for the Anjaneyar Sannadhi, for the first time, at the temple. A Vasantha Mandapam will be constructed for Thaayaar at a cost of Rs. 45 lakhs.
