Poonamallee Vaidyanatha Swamy

Location
This temple is located in Poonamallee, close to the bus depot.
Temple
Vaidyanatha Swamy in the town Vaideeswaran Koil is famous for blessing devotees with good health. In fact, the temple is also considered to be a Navagriha Kshetra for “Sevvai” or “Mars”

The Vaidyanatha Swamy temple in Poonamallee is dedicated to the same deity as in Vaideeswaran Koil and is pretty much a replica in terms of the deities. Vaidyanatha Swamy is in the form of a Linga. Thaiyalnayaki is the name of his consort. Other deities include Muthukumaraswamy, Vishnu Durgai, Natarajar and Navagrihas.
