Schnelle Fakten: Der Krishna als Inkarnation Vishnus gewidmete Tempel, dessen Name übersetzt "Wagenlenker des Arjuna" aus dem Mahabharata bedeutet. Das Allerheiligste beherbergt fünf Formen Vishnus in einem einzigen Schrein, eine Seltenheit unter den Vaishnava-Tempeln Südindiens.
Highlights: Während des jährlichen Wagenfestes wird der 400 Jahre alte hölzerne Wagen von Hunderten Gläubigen durch die Straßen von Triplicane gezogen, seine mächtigen Räder ächzen unter dem Gewicht der Tradition. Die Innenwände des Tempels weisen 24 Säulen mit geschnitzten mythischen Löwen und Yalis auf, jede erzählt ihre eigene vergessene Geschichte aus den Puranas.
