Rajah Annamalaipuram Ayyappan Koil, Chennai, Hindu temple in Raja Annamalaipuram, Chennai, India.
The three-floor temple features 18 steps leading to the main shrine, with a 40-foot tall flag post marking its presence in the neighborhood.
Industrialist M.A.M. Ramaswamy established the temple in 1981 after his pilgrimage to Sabarimala, with the main idol installation occurring in January 1982.
Devotees follow traditional practices by carrying Irumudi bags, wearing black attire, and performing bhajans during their visits to the temple.
A meditation hall beneath the temple accommodates 1,500 people for religious ceremonies, musical performances, and discourses throughout the year.
The temple contains an idol crafted from Panchaloha, comprising five precious metals that represent different elements of nature.
