The Anjaneya Temple at Nanganallur, Chennai is a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Hanuman. The principal idol of Hanuman is 32-feet tall and sculpted from a single piece of granite, which the second tallest Hanuman after Panchavatee near Puducherry.
On the northwest corner, a full-fledged Sannidhi for Lord Rama has been built and here He has taken abode with Seetha and Lakshmana with Anjaneya in attendance. The gods are facing east. Rama's role as the protector and ruler is signified here as Rama is seen carrying his bow, hence the name "Kodanda Rama" for the lord here.
On the southwest, a Sannidhi for Lord Krishna with Rukmini and Satyabhama, all facing east has been built. Even though a Sannidhi for Lord Rama is normally built in Anjaneya temples, rarely a Sannidhi for Lord Krishna is built. In this temple, Krishna Sannidhi is built to remind the devotees that among the gods it was only Anjaneya who was present in both the Indian epics—in Ramayana as a direct disciple of Rama, and in Mahabaratha in the flag of Arjuna's Chariot as ordained by Lord Krishna to save it from destruction by the opponents.
In the northeast part of the temple, on a small platform, "Vinayaka" is housed facing east and to his left on a yet another platform 'Naga' has been installed. Saint Raghavendra has taken his abode facing Lord Krishna.
