With a Three
Tier Raja Gopuram at the Eastern Entrance, the Alarmel Mangai - Venkatesa Perumal temple will also house Sannidhis
for Dhanvantri and Hayagriva
The Temple is looking for full time Priests
and Madapalli personnel
While the cricket development was anchored by M Soundararajan, his brothers Amarnath and Veluswamy and their cousin Ravindran are anchoring the construction of the
temple along with Trustee Ramakrishnan, a well known enterpreneur and philanthropist. The temple is being built at a cost of Rs.
10 crores.
The best of ancient stones have been sourced for
the Perumal Sannidhi from Chittoor and for the rest of the Sannidhis from
Vazhapadi. Over 50 experienced temple architecture related persons led by Sthapathy
Ramesh and Bhaskar, who recently undertook the construction of the Abirami
Amman temple in Dindigul, are working tirelessly in an effort to complete the
first phase of construction by the middle of next year.
The temple has the blessings of Srivilliputhur
Jeeyar and has been endorsed by AMR and Upanyasakars Ananthapadmanabhachari and Velukkudi Krishnan, who have both visited the temple. Over the last decade, Velukkudi Krishnan has been presenting an annual Upanyasam in Udumalpet.

Venkatesa Perumal will be flanked on his right in a
separate sannidhi by Alarmel Mangai Thayar and on his left in a separate
sannidhi by Andal. There will also be
separate sannidhis for the God of Health Dhanvantri, the God of Learning Hayagriva,
Lakshmi Narasimhar and Chakrathazhvaar, Vishwaksenar and Hanuman, with devotees taking up the financial costs of each of these sannidhis.
Amarnath who is personally overseeing the
construction says that in the 1960s and 70s, he and his brothers felt that
cricketers in the districts did not receive enough opportunities to showcase
their talent and that was the reason for their family to support the cricketing
fraternity in the Udumalpet region. And the family went the full distance
providing a platform for young cricketers from Udumalpet to play alongside and
against the best in the country. Similarly, the family is on its way to build the biggest temple “We felt that the region did not have a big Perumal Temple with a Sannidhi for all the Lords. This prompted us to look for a large tract of land that would have enough space to house all the Sannidhis.”
