- This is a must visit temple if you are in Chennai. It's a 7th century temple and reconstructed 300 years back. Mylapore is a very famous area in Chennai and know the history behind how this name came into existence.
One of the imposing religious sites of the city is the famed Kapaleeswarar Temple that is majestically set in the Mylapore region of Chennai.
It is said that the Shiva Lingam in the temple is suyambulingam which means it is self-manifested. It is also known as Vedapuri as the four Vedas have worshipped Lord Shiva at this auspicious place. Other name given to the religious site is Sukrapuri as Sukracharya offered his prayers to Lord Shiva at this place to regain his eyes.
Kapaleeswarar is a combination of two words Kapalam which means head and eswarar which means Lord Shiva.
History of Kapaleeswarar temple Chennai
Initially the temple was constructed in the 7th century CE by the Pallavas where the current Santhome Church is located. Post its demolition by the Portuguese in 1566 A.D. the Vijayanagara kings reconstructed the temple in the Dravidian style of architecture.
Legends state that the place got its name from the fact that Goddess Uma worshipped Lord Shiva in the form of a peacock which is known as Mayil in Tamil. Goddess Uma was being taught the meaning of five lettered Mantra Na Ma Shi Va Ya and the glory of the sacred ash by Lord Shiva, during which she got distracted with the appearance of a peacock.
