'''Ayyappa Nagar''' is a residential area within [[Madipakkam]], a southern [[suburb]] of [[Chennai]] (formerly known as [[Madras]]), in [[Tamil Nadu]], [[India]]. <br />
<br />
It was named after the temple built there to [[Lord Ayyappa]], notable, like [[Sabarimala]], for having eighteen steps.<br />
<br />
Ayyappa Nagar has eighteen streets and extends from Sabari Salai to Keelkattalai. It belongs to the [[panchayat]] of Madipakkam, although a growing population means that Madipakkam is in reality no longer a village. <br />
<br />
The New Madipakkam Lake was desilted in 2002/03, which helped improve the water table of the area. The area is low lying in relation to the adjacent [[Moovarsampet]] area, and water flows into the lake from there during the rainy season. <br />
<br />
Ayyappa Nagar has two hospitals: GM Hospital and Padhuvai. It has few shops except for a small number of ''potti kadais''{{which lang|date=September 2020}} (petty shops). <br />
<br />
There is a welfare association which conducts elections every two years. <br />
<br />
The Ayyappan Temple has a large hall as its annex. Every year on 1 January a distribution of free food (''annadanam'') is made at the temple. The festivals of [[Vishu]] ([[Malayali]] new year in April) and Jothi (coinciding with [[Pongal (festival)|Pongal]] in January) also bring many people to the temple.<br />
<br />
'''Ayyappa Nagar''' is also a residential area near [[Koyambedu]], Chennai Tamil Nadu.<br />
