The Karpaga Vinayagar Temple is a very old one. In the year 2002 when I had settled in chinmayanagar. The temple had total open space and did not even have a Gopuram. The circumambulation inside the temple used to be very peaceful with open sky's.
There used to be proper air circulation, with a skyward open Temple. There also used to be very limited God's and goddess, which included Durga sanctum visible from the road.Aiyappan,Vinayagar & Murugan (with his consorts.)towards the left of the goddess in a line. Apart from this there was the sanctum of Anjaneya & Navagraha.
The temple has gone through a transformation over the last 10 years.New sanctum of Lord Shiva(Lingam) & his consort,Lord Balaji were added.
The Temple has a Peepal tree(Arasa Maram).
The temple was consecrated with 2 Gopuram.A closed enclosure surrounding the deities and a dhyana mandapam
Currently the Gopurams are being painted for kumbhaabhishekam.
A place for must visit in Chinmayanagar.
