Visiting this temple was the highlight of my trip to Chennai. Try to spend enough time at the temple. The bookshop is big.

Elegant building in pink colour. Very beautiful. Very attractive. THe building architecture is very different from Hindu temple and Catherdals. But, when we entered, there is not much to see. Only noticed that there are several persons doing meditation. And, you can't take any photo inside.

If you like to relax for a while it is worth coming here. Just go in and sit on the floor and sip in the atmosphere of meditation. A small garden outside as well.

This is a rather new temple, but with outstanding artwork. It is a Hari Krisna temple that is excellent and with the best artwork in India, good relief wooden carvings/paintings, stained glass and displays
