About Kapaleeshwarar Temple

Kapaleeshwarar Temple, located in the heart of Mylapore, Chennai, is a renowned Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Built in the Dravidian architectural style, the temple is believed to have been originally constructed in the 7th century by the Pallavas and later rebuilt by the Vijayanagar kings. The temple’s majestic gopuram (tower), intricately carved pillars, and vibrant sculptures depict stories from Hindu mythology. Kapaleeshwarar is worshipped here in the form of a lingam, and his consort Parvati is venerated as Karpagambal. The temple is not only a spiritual center but also a cultural hub, especially during festivals like Panguni Peruvizha and Arubathimoovar. Devotees and tourists flock here for its divine ambiance, historical significance, and the beautiful temple tank that adds to its serene atmosphere.
