I was in South India this summer. The weather is too hot, but it's a beautiful place worth visiting. Language problems can occur, but can be managed if you hire a guide. I visited Kapaleeswarar Temple in Mylapore - Chennai. Kapaleeswarar Temple is an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shiva about 350 years ago.
This temple is the largest in the city. In this area, you can see many Brahman religious people who directly or indirectly serve this temple. This temple is located very close to Sao Tome Beach. Anyone who is thinking of visiting the temple can visit the beach. I see many foreigners visiting this temple, but this temple is always kept clean and easy to park. increase. You can also visit the Gili Trade Shop to check out traditional Pooja items and other goodies.
The majestic Kapaleeshwarar Temple is located in Mylapore, Chennai and is said to be the largest temple in the city. This is mainly due to the tall pyramidal structures known as 'gopurams'. According to legend, Goddess Parvati worshiped Lord Shiva disguised as a peacock. From this beautiful legend, the name of the area was born.
Myil (peacock) + oor (city) = Mylapore. In the courtyard of the temple is the shrine of Goddess Parvati under the shade of ancient Punnai trees. In addition, there are beautifully carved bronze statues of 63 saints who were devout worshipers of Lord Shiva.
Kapaleeswarar Temple hosts various festivals throughout the year.
* One of the most famous festivals that attracts thousands of devotees and tourists is the 10-day Brahmos Savam Festival. His one of the highlights of this festival, which runs from March to his April, is the god being mounted on a silver bull on the fifth night. On the seventh day, devotees pull the chariot of the gods (“rat”) to show their power and perform a unique car festival. The eighth day is most important when the idols of the 63 saints are carried in procession.
* The Float Festival, held from January to February, has a unique beauty. The temple's tanks are illuminated with hundreds of brightly colored lights, and the gods are lowered into the tanks on decorated rafts (called 'teppams').
* Music lovers must attend the music program held during Vasanta Utsavam (summer festival) from May to June.
Kapaleeswarar Temple is one of the famous and worth seeing monument in Chennai. We really feel pleasure and holy feeling here.
