This is Valluvar Kottam,a temple chariot like-monument in Chennai, built to honour the renowned classical Tamil poet and saint, Thiruvalluvar. A popular Tamil poet and philosopher, he has been attributed with the creation of Thirukkurals which are hailed as one of the greatest works of Tamil literature. It is also known for its great architecture, built with innovative layouts and well-thought execution. The sublime beauty of Valluvar Kottam is best experienced during the morning hours when the city is just waking up to the day, or you can make a visit to this destination during the evening hours when the sun is just setting over the horizon. #MadrasDay wishes to you team

KAPALESWARAR TEMPLE All over Chennai you will find a variety of temples. These temples are beautifully decorated and have gorgeous artwork around them. Most of the temples are constructed using typical Dravidian architectural style. During festivals, the temples in Chennai come to life with a lot of fervour and happiness
