Acharapakkam is a panchayat town in the Tamil Nadu state of India's Chengalpattu district. It is well-known for the Aatcheeswara Swamy Temple, an ancient Shiva temple and one of the Devaram temples. About 96 miles to the southwest of Chennai city, which is now a part of the Chennai Metropolitan Area, is Acharapakkam town. The Lord Shiva-dedicated Aatcheeswarar Temple is situated close to Acharapakkam, Tamil Nadu, and India. The hymns of Saint Tirugnanasambandar extol the shrine. The Thevaram songs extol this sanctuary, the 29th in the Thondai region. This temple dates back between 1000 and 2000 years. The Arulmigu Aatcheeswarar Temple is thought to be connected to the Tripurasamhaaram mythology (related to that at Tiruvatikai Veerattaanam). The Mazhai Malai Madha Church, which receives thousands of Christian visitors each year, is another notable attraction in the town. People of other faiths also like the church. Locals claim that in 1969, during the region's terrible drought, an automobile parade for Mother Mary was organized at the Acharapakkam hill, where prayers were said. But shockingly, a torrential downpour with thunder and lightning hit the area before the car parade was over. Locals referred to Mother Mary as "Mazhai Malai Madha" (Mountain Rain Mary), and a grotto was constructed there. The current shrine was erected in the same location. Read More
