Top tips for Moscow to Chennai
Visit the Kapaleeshwarar Temple
Religious buildings don’t get much more colourful than Moscow’s world-renowned St. Basil’s Cathedral. Chennai’s magnificent Kapaleeshwarar Temple certainly comes close though.
Located just south of the bustling city centre, the 7th-century Hindu temple is recognisable by its 40-metre rainbow-coloured gopuram that dominates the skyline. It’s one of India’s most prominent Shiva temples and undoubtedly a must-see attraction in Chennai.
