Gangadeeswarar Temple

The information in this post might be outdated

An ancient Chola temple, Gangadeeswarar Temple in Purusawakkam is dedicated to the form of Lord Siva that held the Ganga river as it was falling from heaven to earth. Considered to be among the oldest temples in the city, this temple has a tall, five-tiered gopuram which is visible from the main road. The Chola inscriptions are something you must check out when you're here along with the religiously valued Purusai tree that is within the precincts of the temple. The mandapa opposite the main sanctum is also very modern and the whole temple overall, very well maintained and clean.
