Welcome to Nerul Sri Ayyappa Temple

Nerul Sri Ayyappa is the favourite deity of tens of thousands of devotees living in Navi Mumbai and Mumbai.

Situated at a prominent place in the landscape, Nerul Sri Ayyappa Temple is the realization of dreams of thousands of Ayyappa devotees and is a landmark in Nerul, the biggest node of Navi Mumbai. The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) showed its respect to the temple and its deity by giving the name “Swami Ayyappa Mandir Chowk” to the circle in front of the temple.

In December, 1995, the Nerul Sri Ayyappa Seva Samiti constructed three sreekovils (sanctum sanctora) in the first phase as part of constructing the temple complex in the plot of land allocated to it by CIDCO at sector 17, Nerul. The consecration of these temples was performed on 19th June, 1996. From there on, pooja and other religious activities are being conducted daily as per the temple traditions.

In 2007, it was found during the devaprasanam (astrological findings) that the existing temple has to be renovated and reconstructed. The presence of deities of Krishna, Shiva, Subramaniam and Naga in addition to Ayyappa, Devi Bhadra and Ganapathy was necessary in the temple complex as per the findings of the devaprasnam.

In consonance with the astrological findings, the renowned temple architect Shri Kanippayur Kuttan Namboodiripad was approached for assistance. Subsequently, the deities were shifted to a balalaya (temporary abode) till the consecration of the new temple complex.

The temple construction as per the traditions and specifications has been completed. The prana-prathishta was performed on July 10, 2013. The new temple is open for darshan from July 13, 2013.
