About Madhya Kailash Temple
Venkata Ananda Vinayakar is the main deity at this temple. It also houses shrines for Lord Shiva, Lord Murugan, the Sun God, and Lord Vishnu. A special feature of this temple is the image of Adyantha Prabhu, which combines Lord Ganapathy and Lord Hanuman, with Lord Ganapathy on the right side and Lord Hanuman on the left.
Vinayaka Chaturthi is the busiest day at the temple because the sunlight directly shines on the main deity, which is a very special event. Also, the temple has eight unique bells that make different sounds.
