Ashtalakshmi Temple, Chennai Overview

The Ashtalakshmi Temple sits on the shores of the Bay of Bengal in Besant Nagar, on the stretch of coast known as Elliot's Beach. It was built at the wishes of Sri Mahaa Periyavaal of Kanchi Mutt, Sri Chandrasekara Saraswati Swamigal. The temple's architecture is unique, with deities installed across four levels.

The continuous sound of the ocean waves echo in the temple complex and instantly inculcate an aura of peace. The grandiosity of the place can be estimated from the fact that nearly 7 million rupees were spent on the renovation of the temple and over 1.6 million rupees on conducting a religiously important Hindu ceremony named, Jeernotharana Ashtabandana Mahakumbhabhishekam.
