Chennai Sri Kaalikambal Kamadeswarar Temple - Hindu temple in Chennai - Chennai, India

Visited on a Saturday Morning around 8am. Parking is congested for 4 wheelers as it's a very small street go through. Temple is well maintained and service by priests were good. Since it was full moon day, so abhishekam was going on that attracted the crowd. Good, peaceful place to be with family and advisable to visit early morning hours before 8am

Goddess Kaali is also known as Kalikambal. In other words she is the incarnation of Maa Kaali. Kaalikambal is the Sowmya Swarupa (amsa) of Adi Shakti. The sacred Goddess Sri Kalikambal Temple is situated in the heart of Chennai City in Tamil Nadu and located near George Town around Parry's Corner, Thambu Chetty Street which is a commercial hub dedicated to Sri Kaalikambal and Lord Sri Kamadeswara. It is an ancient temple dates back to almost 3000 years. The details about the God Sri Kamadeswara and Goddess Kaalikambal are mentioned in various puranas. Among 18 ancient puranas the details of the Goddess of this temple are specifically mentioned in Matsya, Vamana, Kurma, Linga and Bhavishya puranam. As per the history, earlier this temple was located much closer to the seashore. It was during the year 1639 as requested by the British Merchants the local Vishwakarma Community people constructed the temple under the guidance of Brahmasri Muthumari Achari in its present location on Parry's Corner (Old George Town) on the street parallel to a prominent commercial street called Thambu Chetty Street.

This is one of the reasons oldest temple in the city which is dedicated to goddess Kamakshi and Lord Kamadeswarar and it is located in Parry's corner. This temple was originally located closer to sea shore and it got relocated to the current place. Since this temple is at the crowded location we will not find any parking spots for 4 wheelers. I was made to run around to get a spot. People who have shops and other establishment around this temple are very helpful. They will come running and ask you to take the vehicle from the parking spot even if you find one. They have a few people in these streets to look after that. That's the only problem here so be prepared to park your vehicle somewhere else and walk to this place to avoid such issues. Temple is maintained neat and clean. They make you to sit in front of the god for couple of minutes to get her Darshan. Overall this is a nice place to get the blessings of goddess Kalikambal and get your mind and soul relaxed. You should definitely visit this temple at least once.
