Nestled in the heart of Chennai, Sree Narayana Guru Mandiram in Vepery stands as a beacon of spiritual unity and community service. This sacred space, with roots tracing back to 1928, was generously donated by the devotee Alammoottil Sri A. K. Govindadas and continues to embody the timeless teachings of Sree Narayana Gurudev.
