Kapaleeswara Temple

Kapaleswara temple is situated at Mylapore in
Chennai {Madras}.
Its ornate gopuram tower is a riot of color, matched only by the vivid
saris of worshippers at the three-hundred-year-old temple. The government
Museum displays fine bronzes of Hindu deities created by artisans of the
Chola period (ninth through thirteenth centuries) which bespeak the devotions
of the time, so similar to those of today.
