This mesmerising spiritual haven is the stronghold of Goddess Nageswary Amman. In 1945, a snake mound was identified by a ‘Pambatti Siddhar’ (snake siddha) as the abode of Goddess Nageswary Amman. Many devotees started flocking to this spiritual stronghold, and praying to Goddess Nageswary. This site was destined for the construction of a railway track and therefore had to be relocated. As the shrine relocated, the Goddess Nageswary became upset over this intrusion. Suddenly, the construction project stalled as the tractors repeatedly malfunctioned. Also many of the workers of the construction experienced nightmarish dreams, inexplicable illnesses and freak accidents. Those affected conducted prayers to appease Goddess Nageswary. Leading to the end of the ceremony, a women devotee by the name of Kaliamma went into a trance. The message conveyed was that that Goddess Nageswary Amman would remain at her current shrine, but also attend the evening prayers of the new temple.
The new temple has a large snake mound ideally located in the middle of the temple. In the mound is a pair of beautiful cobras. The snakes are mostly nocturnal and hardly come out when there are gatherings of devotees. Also there is a white cobra that stands guard at this temple. There was an incident whereby a group of men attempted robbing this temple. As they entered the temple, the white cobra stood guard in front of the inner sanctum and hissed angrily. The trespassers fled for their lives, and subsequently could not bodily function appropriately. The wife’s of these afflicted men went to the temple and begged for the forgiveness of Goddess Nageswary Amman. The men immediately recovered, and now faithfully pray at this powerful temple.This temple is renowned for the ‘puja’ to overcome ‘naga dosham’ (snake curse). Also those undergoing ‘Rahu’ or ‘Kethu’ in their astrological chart participate in this ‘puja’. Devotees come for either the Tuesday or Friday evening 'puja' continuously for 27 weeks. The main ceremony at this temple falls in the month of ‘Adi’, whereby a fire-walking congregation takes place on ‘Adi Puram’. Devotees have to fast for 48 days prior to participating in this spiritually charged festival.

Is the temple still open can we come for poojai bcoz its going on renovation right so I need to noe tat we can come for poojai or not

The whole article is misleading and I wonder how the author gathered the facts. This temple was first started by a family living in Kampung Abdullah behind the Perlis Flats (KTM), Bukit Bungsar on the fringes of Bungsar Estate. The eldest son of this family, Hari Vasuthevan was then working in the Railway Loco Shed. His mother had a dream where she was asked to build this temple and name it Nageswari Amman. Thereafter the family built it as a simple temple. As there were no electricity facilities in this Kampung our family which was staying in the ground floor of Perlis Flats volunteered to allow them to plug an extension electric cable to light up the temple on the simple consecration ceremony. This happened in 1958. In 1976 when KTM wanted to redevelop the area for erecting Railway quarters it offered an alternative place for the temple to be relocated to the present site. After being relocated to the present site a few Railway personnel decided to constitute the temple in an organized manner and a committee of management was formed. Ever since that it became popular as besides railwaymen and their families the surrounding housing estates in Bungsar Park and Bungsar Baru Hindu devotees started to patronize it. The rest is history.
I gathered the facts from the temple priest as well as devotees of the temple, as I have normally done.
Is the temple open around 6pm to light up light for rahu
Hi,Is the temple open for ragu kalam Tuesday 3 pm-4.30pm
Nobody pick up the phone

Since I am the eldest granddaughter of meenachiammal I was named after this temple amma nageswari..
When I conducted the interview at the temple, I had talked to the temple chairman, priest and some devotees. Now if you're going to dispute their version, I might as well omit everyone's names and just keep the details of Nageswary Amman which is the the most important. Is that satisfactory? If you want it differently and have the facts to prove it, email me at kbatumalai@gmail.com
Nageswary was/is everything to me. As per recently this temple has been going through a lot. Most of us would go to temple to find for peace. As to what I remember, everyone who visits her could definitely feel her vibration, her strength. But lately Amman has also been down. The chief Priest would take care of Amman as his own daughter. Or from what I’ve seen throughout my life. Certain “devotees” who’d come to temple to just gossip and show off their wealth has caused a downfall to this temple. Please this is not any of our property. If you started off this temple you should have not allowed anyone to pray. God is for everyone. Please stop putting your ego first. Amman is watching everything. I hope all this rubbish would stop. I really really hope my Amman would show her grace and strong divine back. To whoever who’s new to this temple. Let me tell you, Nageswary is THE most beautiful and caring mother Goddess. I really hope Hindu sangam would claim this temple. This temple is a treasure and if falls into the wrong hands it’s gone. But there is someone above all of us who’s watching.
just want asking, the temple can do naga dhosam parigaram. clear dhosam
Probably the best method is to perform rahukaalam puja either on Tuesday, Friday or Sunday on weekly basis. You can perform at temple or at home.
