What travellers are saying
- Krishnan NSuva, Fiji461 contributionsI spent my childhood in Mylapore and hence returning for a visit was nostalgic, although it has become extremely commercial and crowded. But walking through the streets around Kapaleeswarar temple tank and by lanes brought back memories, not to forget the relegious fervor of the Markazhi monthWritten 23 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- sanju2 contributionsThe Aadhi kesava Peumal temple is more than 1500 years old. It is the birthplace of Pei Alwar, one amongst the first 3 Alwars.
Lord Kesava Perumal & his consort Mayuravalli Thaayar shower their Blessings on devotees.
On Fridyas, the "vilva arachanai" to Mayuravalli thayar is famous.
All your prayers will be answered by the Grace of Aaadhi kesava & Thayar.

This spot was like a forest and even to this day, this church is also known as “kaatukoil” where in Tamil language, it translates to “forest church”.
The existing structure at Luz church was built by the Portuguese in 1516. The architecture consists of patterns of gothic arches, Baroque ornamentation compounded with classic European style. The altars are gilded with silver and gold leaves and the ceilings with powder blue Fresco paintings. The foundation stone of this church is considered to be ‘one of the oldest European monuments in India.’
This ancient church was raised to the status of a Shrine on 15th August, 2010 and also to the status of a Heritage Monumental Shrine in the city of Chennai. This Heritage status is accorded by the Department of Metropolitan Development Authority as Heritage Building in Tamil Nadu.Written 11 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - gokmr14Mangalore, India702 contributionsThis place has got very good collection in dress material which is famous here as Tanjore collection.Written 27 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

Temple is on a narrow street with lots of traffic and it is best advised to reach the temple on foot. Temple is well maintained within its precincts. However the areas surrounding and the approach road are not that well maintained. Inside the temple, one can feel divinity.Written 14 June 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
