Top Temples in Chennai | Chennai Temples

1. The Ornate Kapaleeshwarar Temple
The Kapaleeshwarar temple is located in the Mylapore area of Chennai, which is named after Lord Shiva himself. Historically, people of this region worshipped Lord Shiva in the form of a peacock, which is called Mylai in Tamil and is the origin of this area’s name. In the Kapaleeshwarar temple, however, it is not Lord Shiva who is the star of the show. That honour has been bestowed upon his wife Parvati, who is worshipped here under the name of Karpagambal. The original temple was destroyed by the Portuguese in the 1500s and had to be rebuilt in its current location.

2. The Ancient Parthasarathy Temple
Built in the 8th century, this temple is one of the oldest temples in Chennai and has been a staple in any list that details the temples of Chennai. As might be obvious to anyone who knows some lore about Lord Krishna, this temple is named after him. In the Hindu mythological text Mahabharata, Lord Krishna acted as the charioteer for the Pandava prince Arjuna. And it is in this very role, that he recited the entirety of Bhagwada Gita, which is now one of the biggest literary exports of India. Due to structural damage, this historic temple is undergoing a huge renovation, and some parts of it are not accessible to the public. But that doesn’t mean that you should miss out of visiting this historic temple.

3. The Sacred Temple of Thyagaraja
Located in one of the longest-standing regions of Chennai, Tiruvottiyur, the Thyagaraja temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. One of the most famous temples in Chennai, this temple is also one of the biggest in the country, with about 33 acres of expanse to its credit. Consisting of four gateway towers, also known as Gopurams, it is filled with shrines to a number of deities from Hindu mythology.

4. The Rich Ashtalakshmi Temple
The word Ashtalakshmi is derived from the name of the Hindu Goddess of wealth and prosperity, Lakshmi. Ashtalakshmi means the 8 types of wealth that are desired by all devotees who worship goddess Lakshmi. Each of these types of wealth are represented as an incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi in this temple.

5. The Famous Vadapalani Andavar Temple
This temple was built in honour of Lord Muruga or Kartikeya as many Indians known him. He was the son of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati, and the brother of Lord Ganesha. In the southern parts of India, Murugan is worshipped as the God of War.

6. The Penitent Mangadu Kamakshi Amman Temple
A very interesting myth is attached to the history of this temple. People in Chennai, and many other parts of South India, believe that this temple can aid in finding a groom for an unmarried woman. A Devi by the name of Kamakshi Amman apparently closed Lord Shiva’s third eye in a fit of playfulness and the whole world plunged into darkness.

7. The Royal(ish) Kalikambal Temple
The Kalikambal temple is located in Parry’s Corner which used to be called the George Town area of Chennai. It is yet another temple that is dedicated to the Devi Kamakshi, however, she is worshipped not as Kamakshi but as Shri Kalikambal here. It also celebrates the divinity of Lord Kamadeswarar.

8. The Gateway Adeeswar Temple
This temple sits pretty beside the Redhill lake by the Grand Trunk road which just so happens to be the road that connects Chennai to the rest of Tamil Nadu. It is for this very reason that it is also known as the “Gateway to the South”. The Jain community in India is especially fond of this shrine as it was built to honour their first god Lord Adeeswar, or Adi Bhagwan, or any of the many names that he is known by. Tirthankar Rishabhdev, which was his given name, is believed to be the person who started the religion.

9. The First-of-its-Kind Ayyappan Temple
The Ayyappan temple was the very first Ayyappan construction in the city. It was built in 1974, instantly becoming a favourite place for many devotees. A lot of the residents that lived near the Mahalingpuram Ayyappan temple used to migrate to the Sabarimala during the Mandalam Makaravillakku seasons.

10. The Standalone Shirdi Sai Baba Temple
Also, in the Mylapore area of Chennai, this sole temple for the devotees of the famous Shirdi Sai Baba stands proud! It was created by some of the biggest devotees of Sai Baba,
