XS Real Properties - Bungalow Apartments

La Céleste is located in Mugalivakkam, close to Gerugambakkam off Mount Poonamallee Road before Porur, just 20 minutes away from Chennai's International Airport. This location is today noted for the number of IT companies which are setting shop in the IT parks nearby. The six million squarefeet of DLF IT park is already home for large IT companies like IBM, Mpahsis, CSC, Syntel, Logica CMG, Sony Ericson etc. A total of 12 million IT space is set to come up in this area. Rightfully it is referred to as the second IT corridor of Chennai.

Situated between two airports, the rapidly expanding existing International Airport at Meenambakkam and Green Field airport at Sriperambudur, this location promises to be an important growth centre of Chennai.

The new Kathipara grade separator connects this location to the Central Business District (CBD) of Chennai. In fact the large IT parks which are situated in Guindy Industrial Estate and 100 feet road, such as, Olympia IT park of 1.4 million square feet, will get connected to this location seamlessly, since Kathipara grade separators are fully functional. Truly this section on Mount Poonamallee Road has become an extension of Guindy.

The new grade separators coming up at Porur junction will connect La Céleste's location to Sriperambudur, Chennai's fastest growing manufacturing location.

The government has proposed a plan to widen the Kundrattur Road and establish a heavy vehicle traffic route to Sriperumbudur, bypassing Poonamallee junction.

Actor Arjun constructing Hanuman temple in Gerugambakkam

The construction of the monolithic Hanuman temple in Gerugambakkam is going on at a steady pace and I’m sure it will be one-of-its-kind. The statue of the deity is in a sitting posture and weighs around 160 tonnes. It will be installed in a fortnight’s time.

The Single stone statue is in 28 feet height and 12 feet width with the thickness of 7 feet…"

The actor has allocated one acre of land in Peru estate for this idol. Ashok Gudiger, a Bangalore based sculpture artist designed the temple and statue. In this Temple, the statue shows Hanuman in sitting posture. The sitting posture of Hanuman statue is first of its kind in India.

Navagraha Sthalams of Thondai Mandalam

Here is a collective view of all 9 Navagraha நவகிரக temples in Chennai, which I thought would be easy for people to view them from a single page.

Sri Neelakandeswarar temple at Gerukambakkam (Chennai Navagraha Sthalam - Kethu)

Sri Neelakandeswarar temple at Gerukambakkam - தொண்டை நாடு கேது ஸ்தலம்(Chennai Navagraha Sthalam - Kethu)

This is being considered as the Kethu sthalam for the Navagraha ( நவகிரக ) worship. It is located in the Porur - Kundrathur Road.



At the left hand of the entrance we can see a separate Snake idol being worshipped as the Kethu shrine. The Amman strikes your sight and attracts your attention as it is facing the entrance. So, big, majestic and beautiful! is this Aadhi Kamakshi Amman. Only those who see it can believe it!!


Recently, Tamilnadu Tourism has made arrangements to organize package tour to all 9 Navagraha Sthalams around Chennai and hence the turnout of people is gradually increasing here.
