Rare and Unique Bodyguard Muneeswaran temple ( Chennai )

The Bodyguard Muneeswaram temple, Chennai, just beside a busy main road, sees thousands of visitors everyday, seeking protection and well being for themselves as drivers, and for their vehicles. There is an urban legend in Chennai that a vehicle unblessed by Bodyguard, will, when passing this spot at night come to a stop, for no apparent reason or meet with an accident. Many drivers believe in it even today and so the Bodyguard Muneeswaran temple is the temple that first time drivers and first time vehicle buyers go to, before hitting the road. The temple is unusual because unlike abhishekam’s of deities in mainstream temples, Bodyguard Muneeswaran is appeased with bottles of beer and smoke from the cheeroots.
