Chennai Triplicane Raghavendra Swamy

Jai Shrinidhi Rayaru

Triplicane, also known as Thiruvallikeni, is one of the oldest neighbourhoods of Chennai, India. It is situated on the Bay of Bengal coast and about 0.5 km (0.31 mi) from Fort St George. The average elevation of the neighbourhood is 14 metres above sea level.

 

Along with Mylapore and the surrounding regions, Triplicane is historically much older than the city of Chennai itself, with a mention in records as early as the Pallava period. Triplicane is equally famous for its rich traditional culture, which is prominent in and around the streets (known as "mada veethis" in Tamil) of Parthasarthy Temple.
 

 Although Parthasarathy Temple remains the most important temple of Triplicane, there exists indeed several other temples in the neighbourhood, that includes Raghavendra Temple and Mutt on T.P Koil Street.

The mutt / temple is just few yards away from famous Parthasarathy Temple.
