This temple was initially built inside Fort St. George in 1640 AD but was later moved to Georgetown where it currently resides. The temple is a place of worship for the god Kalikambal, also known as Kamakshi and is one of the most crowded temples in the city. While it may not be as big as the Mylapore Kapaleeshwarar temple, it is said to be fairly important historically as it is said to attract devotees and patrons from all strata of society. The temple has a main shrine where Kalikambal sits and smaller shrines around it and was once said to be visited by Chatrapathi Shivaji in 1677.
