It’s truly a hidden gem on Devaraja Murali street. We went in a weekend afternoon around 4:30pm. The temple opens at 5pm. It was a peaceful darshan. The poojaris are so sincere. The temple has an amazing history. It over 300 years existing in this location. It was originally near the beach and had existed several hundreds years before when Britishers threatened to demolish temple. So the temple authorities and the patrons moved it to the present location and built this temple. The name Chennai came from this temple. There is also a Chenna Malleshwarar Shiva temple next to it. In fact, they are interconnected. Really wish the temple authorities erect a nice board outside & a direction board in the opposite street for people to find this gem of a place. Please support local Hindu temples. #savehindutemples

Sri Chenna Kesava Perumal Temple is at Georgetown right at the center of Chennai. The consort is Sri Senkamalavalli Thayar. Big and calm temple built around 400 years back This temple and Chenna Malleeswarar Temple are built just adjacent to each other with single compound. Regular Pooja are performed well.

Lord Sri Hari and Haran can be worshipped at the same temple complex separated by a big compound wall with a door to access both sides. A very beautiful and old temple near Pookadai area and Chennai may have got its name from these God names. Battachariar said that moolavar will be replaced with a statue made of athimaram during kumbabisekam times which is a speciality here. A must visit temple in Chennai city and can be reachable by road, rail and metro.

Such an ancient temple. Very peaceful experience. Really unexpected that such a huge temple situated in the heart core of Parrys. One of the must visit temples in Chennai. Don't miss this temple when any one visit Kandasami temple in Parrys.

Worth visiting there ..... Pls go with amt in your pocket for God... Helpers ..else you won't get treated as humans .... What I don't like is about the board ... They kept .... Other than Hindus are not allowed ... I don't know which God said .. them .. personally as a Hindu I feel sorry for this....

This temple is dedicated to lord vishnu, the main deity is called as Sri Chennakesava Perumal, it is to be said that the district Chennai is named after this lord. There are seperate sannidis for alwars, Sri ramar alone with his siblings Bharatha Chadrukna Lakshmana and Consert Sri Sita devi. Also mahalakshmi is under seperate vimanam.

Sri chenna kesava Perumal temple is situated in Devaraj Mudali Street,Park town , Chennai -3. Very Ancient temple. Must visit and Get Perumal blessings.

Best place where both Shivan and Vishnu are next to each other the only thing is there is not parking space

Go there. You will love it. Go slow. Block 1 hour minimum. Feel the emotions.....

This twin (Vishnu and Shiva) was built in 17th century during British East India company came here built a new settlements. Both temple are inter connected with a door between two temple. This Chennai city is name after this Chenna (chenni means face) Keasava Perumal.

Great temple with great vibes. Both lord vishnu and lord siva temple are next to each other. So visiting both places will make you feel better.😊

Very well maintained Twin Temple in the core area of Chennai

Proud giver of Chenna name, Perumal along Mallikesawar are pleasant darshan.

Devine place. Located near the High court. Easily reachable by metro. Located in a congested market place, better to go by public transport. Common parking is available nearby, but it will always be full.

Calm temple located in a busiest commercial street. When you crawl slowly on the crowded street to reach the temple, we can find completely opposite peaceful environment. As expected, Vishnu temple priests close the temple very early. Good we could have the dharshan through door windows. Better to go between 7 am to 9am or 5-8pm.

Beautiful temple. Well maintained. Done people claim that the city for is name from this temple. Infact there is a chenna malleswara temple adjacent which is also connected so that you enter one and go to the other. For some reason on a Sunday morning that I went here the temple was empty. Practically noone else.

One of the ancient temple in chennai. good maintain.

Old temple and you can get wooden cabinets for puja idols with beautiful carvings in teak wood on the he sideline shops inside the temple premises

Such a lovely and quiet place, with good ambience in such crowded place

I never forget this day. It's a blessing and filled with happiness. and the lunch at temple was awesome. Feeling Blessed. Thanks to my teachers and Friend who took me there.

Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the friendly and professional staff at the reception. They efficiently handled the check-in process and provided all the necessary information about the hotel's amenities and services.

The temple has old history and the statue of lying down of Perumal is a treat to watch,It's a unique temple with both sivan and Perumal temples on same campus with only a wall seperating them with a gate in it.

Very very old and divine temple.. Even though I am staying in chennai for last 10 years I never knew about it. One thing I am still amazed is no outside noise is being listened in temple...

One of the very big and ancient temple in one of the crowded places in Chennai. Temple has an interesting history to rebuild it here after the original temple was demolished. This temple has many interesting sculptures in pillars and walls.

It was a peaceful Temple. The temple has an amazing history. It over 300 years existing in this location. It was originally near the beach and had existed several hundreds years before when Britishers threatened to demolish temple. It’s truly a hidden gem on Devaraja Murali street.

This temple has many interesting sculptures in pillars and wall. Its very spacious, peaceful and calm though located in one of the crowded places in Chennai. One can visit both the temples within as they have entrance which connects both temples.

Ancient temple & got an opportunity to visit this temple recently. Om Namo Narayana!

Superb temple.....many things to learn and no sound ....happy to think and full of postive energy and positivity.......one place perumal and shivan in the temple ...it's a famous temple......in the environmental circumstances this is a big temple.

The temple which might have originally lent it's name to the city, looks of medieval antiquity. Neat and clean in the evening, no crowds but the scheduled worship by the priests was in progress. Outside the temple, the whole world seems to be converging and swimming around in the wholesale markets which are very popular and friendly too.

One of the best twin temples ever visited. Temple has an interesting history to rebuild it here after the original temple was demolished. This temple has many interesting sculptures in pillars and wall. Its very spacious, peaceful and calm though located in one of the crowded places in Chennai.
