About the temple
Known for its richly painted gopuram, Sri Ananda Vinayagar Temple welcomes devotees seeking new beginnings. Daily archanas and Ganapathi homams are performed by a family of priests who have served the temple for generations.
The shrine began as a small roadside sannidhi and grew into a full temple through community support. The present gopuram was consecrated after a renovation completed with devotees’ contributions.
