This Dravidian-architectural marvel at Mylapore is one of the most iconic sights in Chennai. Constructed around the 7th century, the Kapaleeshwarar temple houses stories from the Pallava Empire. During Margazhi season, the temple is decorated with lights and daily music events are scheduled inside the premises. Walk around the stone-yard as you experience the architecture and the 120-feet tall gopuram filled with detailed carvings, which narrate mythological stories. The temple is also surrounded by small street-shops, where you can find fancy jewellery, toys and other ceramic and terracotta items for your home.
