Directions

Kailasanadar Mulaginimeni is about 10 kilometers north west of the GST Road when you enter it after crossing the Paalar River after Chingleput. Take the immediate right after crossing the bridge and drive past Kavithandalam to reach Kailasanadar Mulaginimeni. Taking the right after Paalar river requires care as this is a very fast and blind stretch – or go further and take a u-turn to be safe. On the way to this temple are also quite a few temples in Chingleput Taluk in our listing.
