singara chennai

Being the only 'place of worship' so close to the headquarters of the Metropolitan as well as the State Express Transport Corporations, it is easy to imagine that whenever a new bus was brought in, it must have been taken to the nearest deity, X , for the pooja. It is no surprise therefore that over time, this rather non-descript shrine has acquired a niche expertise
in guaranteeing the welfare of vehicles and drivers; X is now something like a patron saint for those citizens of Chennai who make a living with their driving skills.
It is believed that X got his name only because of his role as a protector.
