About Chennai Temple Tour
A Chennai Temple Tour is ideal for travellers who want to discover the city’s religious heritage in a single journey. Instead of spending most of the day on highways, this package concentrates mainly on temples located within Chennai and nearby city limits.
You can choose a one-day itinerary or customize the trip based on the temples you want to visit.
Famous Temples to Visit in Chennai
Kapaleeshwarar Temple, Mylapore
The historic Kapaleeshwarar Temple in Mylapore is one of the most important Shiva temples included in Chennai temple sightseeing. Dedicated to Lord Shiva as Kapaleeshwarar and Goddess Karpagambal, the temple is known for its impressive Dravidian architecture and colourful gopuram.
Mylapore’s traditional surroundings also give visitors a glimpse of Chennai’s old temple-town character.
Parthasarathy Temple, Triplicane
Devotees can include the Parthasarathy Temple in Triplicane in their Chennai pilgrimage itinerary. Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, this ancient temple is one of the celebrated 108 Divya Desams.
The temple is particularly significant for Vaishnavite devotees and is an essential stop for travellers interested in Chennai’s Divya Desam heritage.
Vadapalani Murugan Temple
The Vadapalani Murugan Temple is one of Chennai’s best-known Murugan shrines and can be easily included in a city temple tour.
Devotees visit the temple for Lord Murugan’s blessings, while the shrine is also closely associated with marriages and other auspicious family occasions.
Ashtalakshmi Temple, Besant Nagar
A visit to the Ashtalakshmi Temple in Besant Nagar adds a different experience to the tour. The temple is dedicated to eight manifestations of Goddess Lakshmi associated with different forms of prosperity and well-being.
Its location close to the coast makes it a popular spiritual landmark in South Chennai.
Marundeeswarar Temple, Thiruvanmiyur
The ancient Marundeeswarar Temple in Thiruvanmiyur is an important Shiva shrine that can be included in our Chennai Temple Tour Packages.
Lord Shiva is worshipped here as Marundeeswarar. The temple’s spacious traditional architecture and spiritual importance make it a worthwhile stop while exploring temples in South Chennai.
Kalikambal Temple, George Town
Families interested in Amman temples can include the Kalikambal Temple in George Town in their itinerary.
Located in one of Chennai’s oldest commercial areas, the temple has a long association with the history and religious life of the city.
Kandhakottam Murugan Temple
The Kandhakottam Murugan Temple is another important option for devotees of Lord Murugan. Situated in the older part of Chennai, it can be combined with other central Chennai temples to create a dedicated pilgrimage route.
Chennai Divya Desam Temple Tour
Vaishnavite devotees can choose a Chennai Divya Desam Temple Tour focusing on sacred Vishnu temples in and around Chennai.
The itinerary can be customized according to the number of Divya Desams you want to cover and the time available for darshan. Temple opening and closing hours are considered while arranging the route.
Chennai Shiva Temple Tour
Devotees of Lord Shiva can select a Chennai Shiva Temple Tour featuring Kapaleeshwarar Temple, Marundeeswarar Temple and other significant Shiva shrines in the Chennai region.
This type of tour is useful for families who prefer a deity-specific pilgrimage rather than a general city sightseeing itinerary.
Chennai Murugan Temple Tour
Our Chennai Murugan Temple Tour can include Vadapalani Murugan Temple, Kandhakottam and other Murugan shrines according to your preferred route.
Families can also customize the package by adding important Murugan temples towards the outskirts of Chennai when sufficient travel time is available.
Chennai Amman Temple Tour
For devotees of Goddess Shakti, the Chennai Amman Temple Tour can be planned around Kalikambal Temple, Ashtalakshmi Temple and other well-known Amman shrines across the city.
The route can be adjusted according to the temples your family specifically wishes to visit.
Suggested One Day Chennai Temple Tour
A practical One Day Chennai Temple Tour can focus on different parts of the city rather than spending unnecessary time travelling back and forth.
| Time | Suggested Plan |
|---|---|
| Morning | Pickup from your location in Chennai |
| Morning | Kapaleeshwarar Temple |
| Morning | Parthasarathy Temple |
| Late Morning | Kalikambal / Kandhakottam |
| Afternoon | Lunch & rest |
| Evening | Vadapalani Murugan Temple |
| Evening | Ashtalakshmi Temple |
| Evening | Marundeeswarar Temple |
| Night | Drop at your Chennai location |
The actual order should be adjusted according to your pickup point, traffic, temple timings and special festival schedules.
Half-Day Chennai Temple Tour
Travellers with limited time can also choose a Half-Day Chennai Temple Tour covering a smaller group of temples.
For example, visitors staying around Mylapore or central Chennai can focus on nearby temples instead of trying to cover the entire city. This option is particularly useful for business travellers, short-stay visitors and families with elderly members.
Chennai Temple Tour for Families
Our Chennai Temple Tour for Families can be planned with enough time for darshan, meals and short breaks. Families travelling with children can select fewer temples and maintain a comfortable pace.
Private transportation also allows the family to travel together without repeatedly arranging local taxis between temples.
Chennai Temple Tour for Senior Citizens
Senior citizens may find a heavily packed temple itinerary tiring. Vishnu Travels can arrange a Chennai Temple Tour for Senior Citizens with fewer stops, convenient vehicle access and sufficient rest between temple visits.
Families can tell us their priority temples so that less-important stops can be removed instead of rushing through every location.
Private Vehicles for Chennai Temple Tours
Vishnu Travels provides different private vehicle options for Temple Tour Packages based on passenger count and comfort requirements.
- Sedan – suitable for small families
- Innova – suitable for family groups
- Innova Crysta – additional comfort for city travel

Pickup and drop can be arranged from your home, hotel, railway station, airport or another preferred location in Chennai.

Depending on the selected package, the Chennai Temple Tour Packages can include private AC transportation, driver allowance, parking and a planned temple route.
Special darshan tickets, pooja charges, temple donations, meals, guide charges and personal expenses can be kept separate unless specifically included in your selected package.
Customized Chennai Temple Tour Packages
Some devotees want only Vishnu temples, while others may prefer Shiva, Murugan or Amman temples. Instead of following the same itinerary for everyone, our Customized Chennai Temple Tour Packages allow you to select temples according to your family’s devotional interests.
You can also tell us:
- Your Chennai pickup location
- Number of passengers
- Preferred temples
- Half-day or full-day requirement

Based on these details, Vishnu Travels can organize a practical temple route within Chennai.
