About Parthasarathy Temple

This ancient temple honors Parthasarathy, meaning 'the charioteer of Arjuna,' commemorating Lord Krishna's role guiding Arjuna during the Mahabharata's Kurukshetra battle. The temple is celebrated in the Naalayira Divya Prabandham, the classical Tamil devotional canon composed by Alvar saints between the 6th and 9th centuries. Its spiritual significance has endured for over fourteen centuries, making it a cornerstone of Vaishnavite worship in South India and a destination for pilgrims seeking the blessings of Krishna in his teaching and guiding aspect.
