The ancient Kandaswamy temple at Cheyur near Madurantakam, Kanchipuram district, dates back to the 11th century. From the road one can only see the Raja Gopuram with the rest of the facade being shops and shops galore; a typical metro temple one can say; indicative of the commercial milieu of the temple trustees. The temple is built in the shape of Tamil letter "OM".

That is to say, the different 'Sannidhis' are situated accordingly. The temple is open in the morning and evening and attracts a large number of devotees from near and far. People from Chennai and nearby towns throng the temple during Bharani, Krithigai and especially during Adi Krithigai, Thai Krithigai and Vaikasi Visakam.

In 1988, the Kumbhabhishekam of this temple was conducted with great devotion, fervour and grandeur. Lord Muruga when he was a mere child, for sake the world and left Kailas, the abode of his father Lord Shiva, to travel to Palani in a loin cloth to perform a penance of righteous indignation at not being given the mango fruit for which he and his elder brother Lord Ganesh competed.

The action of Lord Muruga was one of great philosophical import and is not to be confused with the urge of mortals to abjure the material. In order to infuse meaning into the day to day material life of samsara, Lord Muruga imparted a profound message to a savant of South India over three centuries ago. The fruit of this message is today enshrined in a remarkable temple found in the heart of Chennai metro's commercial hub; the evening bazaar or the rattan bazaar.

This shrine is none other than the Arulmigu Shri Kandaswamy temple known popularly as Kandha Kottam. Situated in Rasappa Chetty Street, in George Town, the temple is an excellent proof of the congenial togetherness of worship and worldly responsibility, commerce and spirituality. Over 350 years ago lived a man called "Vellore Marichettiar", who didn't feel inclined to pursue a life of commerce. He didn't want to marry and get caught in the web of samsara and yearned to lead a life of denial and penance.
