Each morning I would pass through this temple on my way to work from Adayar to Royapettah. The temple is located in Mylapore, whose name is derived from the legend that the Goddess Uma worshipped Siva in the form of a peacock (or mayil in Tamil). Arulmigu Kapaleeswarar Temple is a Siva Temple, and the name of the Lord is ARULMIGU KAPALEESWARAR. The name of the Goddess is ARULMIGU KARPAGAMBAL. It is a beautiful lively temple with a spectacular ‘Gopuram’ and a big tank on its West. The temple and the tank are surrounded by Broad streets on the four sides.
