Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Dedicado a Krishna como um avatar de Vishnu, o nome do templo se traduz como "auriga de Arjuna" do Mahabharata. O santuário abriga cinco formas de Vishnu em um único templo, uma raridade entre os templos vaishnavitas no sul da Índia.
Destaques: Durante o festival anual da carruagem, a carruagem de madeira de 400 anos é arrastada pelas ruas de Triplicane por centenas de devotos, suas rodas massivas gemendo sob o peso da tradição. As paredes internas do templo apresentam 24 pilares esculpidos com leões e yalis mitológicos, cada um contando sua própria história esquecida dos Puranas.
