About Krishnaswami Temple, Muthialpet
Located in the Muthialpet neighbourhood near Parry's Corner in Chennai, this Hindu temple was constructed during the 18th century and represents an important religious and social landmark in the city's history. The temple gained prominence in 1787 when it became the focal point of a significant dispute between Left hand and Right hand castes, which escalated into a major riot. The conflict was eventually brought to resolution through the intervention of the Madras government authorities, marking an important moment in the temple's documented history and the broader social dynamics of colonial Chennai.
