Vellishwarar temple- Mylapore, Chennai

  Mylapore area, in the heart of the Chennai city has a cluster of ancient temples and  today I am taking you to Vellishwarar temple which is situated very near to Kapaleeshwarar temple 

Vellishwarar is Lord Shiva and His consort is Kamakshi. It is a small temple and one cannot miss this on South Mada street.
This is one of the   7 Shiva Sthana temples of  Mylapore . It is believed to be more than 300 years old.

This temple also has sub shrines for Ganesha, Muruga, Dakishnasmoorthy Lingodhbhava and Navagrihas and  celebrates its yearly festival in May.

Do add this to you list when you plan for Mylapore temples.
