Mallikesvarar Temple, Chennai, Hindu temple in George Town, Chennai, India
Mallikesvarar Temple stands alongside Chennakesava Perumal Temple as part of a historical twin temple complex in the northern section of Chennai district.
The temple's initial structure, constructed in 1646, underwent relocation and reconstruction in 1762 after British authorities demolished the original building for colonial expansion.
Local devotees continue religious ceremonies and rituals within the temple walls, maintaining traditions that span back to the early days of Madrasapatnam settlement.
The temple functions as an active place of worship, following regular opening hours and maintaining specific protocols for visitors entering the sacred premises.
The temple's name appears in a 1652 document as 'Mally Carjuns Old Pagoda,' establishing its position among the earliest Hindu temples in British-established Madrasapatnam.
