Chennai has several spectacular religious monuments. Explore the capital of Tamil Nadu’s landmark site, the Kapaleeshwarar Temple, an important Hindu temple recognisable for its Dravidian architecture and rainbow-hued entrance. It’s dedicated to Shiva, a Hindu god, and located in Mylapore, one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods.
