Old Temple in Ice House being prepared for consecration event

 



The Thulukanatha Amman Temple on Dr Natesan Road, Ice House, Sudandira Nagar, Triplicane, is said to be over 700 years old.

The temple staff said that, long ago, this temple was maintained by the local Muslim people and that is how it got its name.


After that, it has been maintained by the forefathers of Anandh poojari; from the past four generations. 


Repair work on the temple is going on. This is for the consecration ceremony that is expected to be held within the next 6 months.
