Kalatheeswarar Temple, Chennai
Kalatheeswarar temple, located at Coral Merchant Street in Mannady/George Town area of Chennai, is a small but old temple, which is quite popular in the locality.
The presiding deity is Shiva Linga, named Kalatheeswarar. There is a separate shrine for the goddess Gnanambikai. All the icons, including Kalatheeswarar and Gnanambikai, are tiny in this temple. However, the image of the goddess is stunningly beautiful.
There are also shrines for other gods and goddesses such as Ayyappa, Manjanamata, Chandikeshwara, Shivlinga, Subramanya with Valli-Devasena Ganesha, and Navagraha.
Ganesha, Dakshinamurti, Vishnu, Brahma and Durga are found as niche images.
