I am not looking for meditation venues just looking to see the architecture, gardens, etc.. This is a beautiful building. We were less impressed with the interior but I think we were expecting a elaborate interior to match the exterior and it is nothing to see inside. Tranquil yes. More

Ramakrishna temple is situated on the Ramakrishna Mutt Road popularly called as RK mutt road in Mylapore. This road is one way. If you want to visit this temple, you can get down at Mylapore. You will then get to visit Kapaleeswarar temple and Ramakrishna temple - 2 in 1 ! Ramakrishna temple is built huge and very neatly maintained.... More

Set in a large compound dotted with greens, you forget that you are in a city as busy as Chennai. Take a few minutes to close your eyes and meditate or simply enjoy the quiet and positive vibrations that this place sends out. You can visit the bookshop round the corner for books on spirituality, especially those written by Swami... More
