MADURANTAKAM |

Introduction
Madurantakam is a small town in Chingleput District of Madras State. It is 50 miles south
of Madras and can be reached both by rail and road. In the days of yore the place was
known as Bakularanyam due to the sweet-smelling Bakula flowers which used to grow there in
plenty.
The temple is situated just below the great Madurantakam Agricultural Reservoir Bund. It
is of modest dimensions. The main deities are Sri Rama, Lakshmana and Sita. Sri
Karunakaramurthy is also in the shrine. Anjaneya (Hanuman) is conspicuously absent here
although he is generally inseparable from Sri Rama.
