“ Arulmigu Parthasarathy Swamy Temple holds a prestigious position among the 108 Divya Desams, believed to have undergone renovation by a Pallava dynasty monarch. This temple was prominently featured in the 8th century and boasts a striking Raja gopuram—a pyramid-shaped dome—that is defining architectural marvel. Adorned with numerous inscriptions dating back to the 8th century in Tamil and Telugu, likely from the era of Dantivarman, a devout Vishnu devotee, the temple is steeped in historical significance. Situated in Triplicane, it is Chennai's oldest temple, graced by two gopurams—one facing east and the other west. Housing five superhumans, each venerated with individual Mangalasasanam by Thirumangaimannan in Periya Thirumozhi, the temple reveres a legacy of devotion. Moreover, the temple actively conducts Annadhanam, providing honest sustenance to a minimum of 100 individuals daily. Notably, Thulabharam, a sacred worship ritual, is open to the public and is conducted in front of a designated ticket counter.
