Many mutts are there for Sree Guru Raghavendra Swamy at Chennai. One such mutt is situated at Perambur Area. The address of the mutt is No.15,Srinivasan Street,Perambur,Chennai – 600 011. Several years ago, this mutt was donated by a couple belonging to smartha Brahmin community. They have donated a major portion of their house for building the mutt and then they kept a small portion of their house for their occupation. Every year Raghavendra Swamy Aradana will be celebrated in this mutt in a grand manner. Free food will be offered to all the devotees who visit the temple. Generally I will offer food grains as donation to the mutt on the occasion of every aradana. Raghavendra Swamy Aradana will fall during the end of August month. People from Perambur area visit during Aradana festival. Flower decoration and various poojas will be done to Sri Raghavendra swamy. Every month during pournami, Satyanarayana pooja will be done at the temple premises by the devotees. And they will be given prasadam by the temple authorities after the completion of pooja.
