What travelers are saying
- ilovetoeatandtravelLondon, UK3 contributionsKapaleeshwarar Temple is amazing to visit with kids. You can easily spend 2 hours there and you don't need a guide to see the Temple. Be aware that the Temple closes at noonish and re-opens again in the late afternoon. The Hindu priests and worshippers were very welcoming and friendly. Non-Hindus are not allowed to enter the temples so look out for signs. However, you will still be able to follow from outside. Two things to look out for. We left our flip flops in a shoe place, associated with the Temple and situated just outside the entrance to the Temple, that was supposed to be free but of course it wasn't. A man came out of the shoe place after we picked up our shoes and became aggressive and intimidating when we did not accept his offer of Chennai tours. There is another man (an economics student apparently) who stands at the entry to the temple and offers tours. He also became unpleasant and argumentative when we rejected his offer of touring the Temple with him. Apart from that we had a great time and will visit again next time we are in Chennai.Written April 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We visited the interiors of this church, admired the wood carvin and simple decorations. . There is also a small museum showing some artifacts of the old times.
The tomb or crypt is located towards the back of the Basilica. There are pews to kneel/sit down when praying to St. Thomas. The tomb is located at the center of the crypt.
I said my prayers here and took some pictures. Note that there is aircondition here, the area is kept clean.Highly recommended to visit.Written March 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I have been here a couple of times and it’s one of the first malls that doesn’t up that had branded stores and was a welcome change. Usually it’s crowded with a lot of wandering crowds and window shoppers and friends loitering around for time pass and a few come here fur amusement and entertainment. I visited this place on January the 30th 2023 when we had gone for a Hindi movie.

It’s seems to date back a long time ago judging from the structure and carvings. Very beautiful and serene. Can get quite busy at times. Beautiful chariot carving of Arjun can be seen. Lots of little structure for one to offer respect . Entry is free. It was amazing to see so many young people sitting and meditating and offering prayer. It felt really good to be there. Some crafts could be purchased outside the temple.Written December 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
