Built in the 8th century by the Pallavas, this temple is located in the heart of Triplicane and was built to honour Lord Krishna and his five forms. Like the Kapaleeshwarar temple, it too has a water tank with a structure in the middle called a neerazhimandapam. During the Tamil month of Masi (February -March), they hold a yearly festival where they build a massive float that goes around the tank! The temple has age-old inscriptions in Tamil and Telugu as well as five shrines for the five forms of Krishna. The gopuram isn’t as tall as its Mylapore counterpart but is just as intricately decorated.
