A great temple and a must visit place for those living in and around Chennai. This temple built by the Mysore Maharaja is an architecture lover's delight. The huge pillars with Yali are imposing and the precincts of the temple have drawings of the deities of the Divya Desams. One can get a good darshan of the deities as we are allowed to go up close unlike some other temples. The alamkaram is too good and one gets a feeling of satisfaction after offering prayers here.
