Melmaruvathur is a town located in Tamil Nadu, India. It is in the Cheyyur Taluk of Kancheepuram district. The town is known for having the shrine of goddess Adhi Parashakthi, the Om Shakti Temple.[1] It is a very important religious destination because of its location between Tiruvannamalai and Chennai, and also because of its very reachable location, which is blocked neither by mountains nor lakes.
