    Jagannathan temple:


    An exact replica of the Puri Jagannath Temple. Those who have not been to Puri can take a look at this temple. The temple is situated at Kannathur on ECR about 20kms from Adyar. For the onlooker the shrine resembles a replica of Puri temple. The complex is built by Sri Jagannath Spiritual Educational Cultural Trust

    Hi:

    I was a resident of Chennai eight years ago and when I was there I really loved going to the Asthalakshmi temple on Besant Nagar beach. As the name suggests the temple is dedicated to eight Lakshmis - Dhanalakshmi, Santanalakshmi, etc.

    I'm sorry I cannot help with any further details as to how to get there & so on - seem to have forgotten the names of the roads!

    Wow this is a good informations Thanks to all of you for giving so much of information and special thanks to Shanvy. For the details. I had visited Chennai when I was a kid but can't remember much had been to the repital sanctuary and some temples around. But I think I should visit sometime soon if not for the places atleast to meet the wonderful IL ladies who are in Chennai.
