The Chennai Anjaneyar Temple history is not that very old. The foundation stone of the temple was laid in 1989. Later, the temple was opened to the public in 1995. Though it's not rich in history, the belief of the temple is based on the ancient Hindu mythology, the Ramayana. As a token of this Lord Rama, Sita and Laxmana are also worshiped here.

The main attraction of the Anjaneyar temple is its huge Hanuman idol which is 32 feet tall and carved on a single granite piece. The temple tower of the deity is 90 feet tall and has corridors that connect the sanctum sanctorum to other deities.

As Hindu temples are worship spots, you can feel the spiritual atmosphere inside Anjaneyar, with its smell of flowers and camphor, a ring of bells, and chanting. You will experience a cool and pleasant atmosphere here. If you are fond of architecture or a variety of Indian cultures, you can observe the traditional Tamil art of the temple. The Indian and Tamil rituals often excite tourists, therefore you can explore such rituals here and maybe take part in them.
