Location: Chennai Om Sri Skandasramam is located on five acres of land in Tambaram, not far from Chennai Airport and just off of the Chennai-Tiruchy Road near the Mahalakshmi Nagar bus stop on the route of the No. 51 series buses. If you are coming for the first time, it is best to phone ahead for directions.
Activities: Every evening at dusk pujas are conducted to the four main deities of Sri Skandasramam: Swaminatha Swami, Bhuvaneswari, Veerasarabeswarar and Adarvana Bhadra Kali Amman. Homam is also being offered on a continuous basis (Nitya Homam) since late 1999. Almost every week there are special pujas and abhisekams of the deities. Please contact the Ashram for details.
Accommodation: Travellers are welcome to visit Chennai Om Sri Skandasramam and enjoy the spiritual environment. Currently Skandasramam does not offer accommodations. However if you will phone or e-mail in advance to the trustees, they can help to find short-term accommodation for sincere devotees.
