The great Indian Emporer Chatrapati Shivaji visited this temple once and took blessings of the ambaal. There is a painting or stone which also mentions the date and time when the emporer visited the temple. look out for it near the main east side gate of the temple

It is beautiful old temple, lot of money has been spent for the renovation. Very difficult to go during weekedays as there are no seperate parkiing space available, best time to visit weekends, but once again it becomes very crowded.

Really glad to visit the temple which the great Maratha emperor Shivaji visited in the 1600's.

Among the crowded streets of parrys corner, this temple stands against the test of time. The temple is medium sized, very old and yet powerful. It is a must visit among chennai temples. Never miss the kali statue near the entrance, i have never seen anything like that in any of the temples i have visited.
