Om Sri Skandhashramam, Selaiyur

Om Sri Skandhashramam is a Hindu temple at Selaiyur, near Tambaram in southern Chennai, whose chief deity is Murugan in the form of Swaminatha Swami. Saint Swami Santhananda, who had earlier founded shrines at Pudukkottai, Salem and Sendamangalam, built it and consecrated it on 24 June 1999, though he died before the work was finished. It is also dedicated to the goddess Ugraprathyangira Devi and to Sarabheswara, and is said to have been the country's first temple to that goddess.

The temple is known for its life-size and larger images of many deities, including Dattatreya, a five-faced Hanuman, an eighteen-armed Durga, Lakshmi Narasimhar and Bhuvaneshwari. Most striking is the Sahasralingam, a lingam 9.5 feet high and weighing 20 tons with 1,007 smaller lingams carved into it, faced by a Nandi 5 feet long. A meditation hall in front of the four main sanctums has the Sri Chakra Maha Meru at its centre, and a Vedic school opened here in June 2012.
