Arupadai Veedu Murugan Temple is dedicated to Sri Murugan and is one of the most special and unique Temple in Chennai City since all six prominent Abodes of Sri Murugan can be seen under a single roof. Pamban Swamigal predicted that there is going to be a construction of Arupadai Murugan Temple in this location and that his Tomb can be seen near this Temple. In the year 1984 Dr. Alagappa Alagappan came up with the idea of constructing Arupadai Veedu and so he sought  the help of Kanchi Paramacharya and conveyed his thoughts. The Sage was pleased and approved Dr. Alagappa Alagappan's idea and the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR allocated an acre of land for constructing this Temple. The Maha Kumbaabishekam of this Temple was performed in the year 2002. This Sea Shore Temple is built facing East and has a seven tiered Rajagopuram. There is a Shrine for Maha Vallabha Ganapati and He is also known as New York Vinayagar. Another Vinayakar Shrine can be seen under the Holy Tree of this Temple. There are Sub Shrines for Navagraha and Bhairava. There is a big Mandapam named Kandha Sasthi inside this Temple complex. Festivals like Thai Poosam, Panguni Uthiram, Aadi Kiruthikai and Skanda Shasti are celebrated in a grand manner. On the request of Devotees Homams like Skanda Homam, Rudra Homam, Ganapathi Homam are performed regularly.
