Arulmigu Sri Chenna Kesava Perumal Temple - Hindu temple in Chennai - Chennai, India

This twin (Vishnu and Shiva) was built in 17th century during British East India company came here built a new settlements. Both temple are inter connected with a door between two temple. This Chennai city is name after this Chenna (chenni means face) Keasava Perumal.

It's truly a hidden gem on Devaraja Murali street. We went in a weekend afternoon around 4:30pm. The temple opens at 5pm. It was a peaceful darshan. The poojaris are so sincere. The temple has an amazing history. It over 300 years existing in this location. It was originally near the beach and had existed several hundreds years before when Britishers threatened to demolish temple. So the temple authorities and the patrons moved it to the present location and built this temple. The name Chennai came from this temple. There is also a Chenna Malleshwarar Shiva temple next to it. In fact, they are interconnected. Really wish the temple authorities erect a nice board outside & a direction board in the opposite street for people to find this gem of a place. Please support local Hindu temples. #savehindutemples

Best place where both Shivan and Vishnu are next to each other the only thing is there is not parking space
