History
According to temple tradition, sepoys of the Madras Regiment found the Ganesha idol in 1824 while digging a well in the cantonment. A shrine was built for the idol according to the Agamas; accounts differ on who consecrated it (the sepoys themselves, or under the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham). The temple was extended in 1960 and taken over by the Endowments Department in 1968. The complex now includes several sub-shrines, including Shiva, Uma Maheshwari, Subramanya, Anjaneya and the Navagrahas.
