Fly to India to visit the city of Chennai, India!!! Let's go!

Review Round 3, Really Make It Real, Kapaleeshwarar Temple 🇮🇳 (Round 5) It is a Brahmin temple that worships Lord Shiva, located in Mylapore, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Lord Shiva's wife, Parvati, who resides at this temple is called Karpagambal, which means "Goddess of the Wish-Yielding Tree" in Tamil. The temple was built around the 7th century in Dravidian architecture and is believed to have been built during the Vijayanagar Empire. In the Puranas, Shakti worships Lord Shiva in the form of a peacock, hence the local name of the area surrounding the temple, Mayilāi. Lord Shiva is enshrined here in the form of "Kapaleeswarar" and symbolized by the lingam. His wife Parvati is enshrined in the form of "Karpagambal". The name "Kapāliswara" comes from the words kapāla (head) and Īśvara (greatness and holiness), or perhaps it refers to Shiva. According to the Puranas, during the meeting of Brahma and Shiva on Mount Kailash, Brahma did not show Shiva the respect he usually did. Shiva removed one of Brahma's many heads (kapalam or head) and, as a form of repentance, Brahma came down to Mylapore and enshrined the lingam to please Shiva. ** Indians are always kind and generous. They sell our products and buy many sets and help bring them to perform the ceremony. The sacredness of Lord Shiva 🙏🏻 For those who are troubled, sick, have problems with work or finances, if they come to worship and offer offerings and chant to Lord Shiva, they must set their mind to pray to Lord Shiva to help dispel bad things from their lives and will usually have all their wishes come true. The temple only allows Hindus to perform the worship ceremony and worship inside. Outsiders can visit around the temple or look from a distance. The temple also has a merit-making ceremony for the cows that are the vehicles of Lord Shiva. You can feed them grass and visit them. Note: This temple can take friends to pray for blessings very quickly.
