Mylapore - Kesavaperumal & Srinivasaperumal Temples

These two ancient Vaishnava kshetras are situated in Mylapore, renowned for the Kapaleeswar temple. The unprecedented popularity and ineffable glory attained by the.latter, has in a way eclipsed these two Perumal temples, despite lying side by side, and moreover to the north of the big tank. The place is specially sanctified by the birth of Paey Alwar, whose ministrations and preaching's for the regeneration of Vaishnavism are beyond description. Srinivasa Perumal temple is said to have been built some two centuries ago. It is adjacent to Kesava Perumal temple. It is conducting the Kainkarya activities regularly and promptly, although luring comparatively lesser number of bhaktas. The other one - Madhava Perumal temple is in Tiruvalakkeni, about 5 km off Mylapore. In all these Nithyanaimithika agama worship is carried on with due veneration. Built some centuries back, they contain all parts as they followed Silpa sastra scrupulously.

They are accessible by bus, taxi, auto and cycle rickshaw from Madras Central station or bus stand.
