    One and only Buddhist temple in Chennai, so it becomes a must visit. Sometime requires policemen to protect it from other community people who try to attack this place.

    The Budhha relic stands tall.. Beware no car parking & its a narrow lane.. The monk there is quite unfriendly tough..Best option is to park your car in egmore station car parking lot..

    It is very near to egmore railway station. Many people don't even know it is here , very lovely place where many Buddhist monk and many people related to buddhist were always available there. Mostly many people from srilanka visited this place daily. Many books related to buddism is available here . Very calm place inside a busy city , if you have atleast 30 mins for train in 10 mins you can visit the place as it is only 500 meters from egmore railway station .
