Places to visit in and around chennai

Jagannathan temple:


An exact replica of the Puri Jagannath Temple. Those who have not been to Puri can take a look at this temple. The temple is situated at Kannathur on ECR about 20kms from Adyar. For the onlooker the shrine resembles a replica of Puri temple. The complex is built by Sri Jagannath Spiritual Educational Cultural Trust

Hi:

I was a resident of Chennai eight years ago and when I was there I really loved going to the Asthalakshmi temple on Besant Nagar beach. As the name suggests the temple is dedicated to eight Lakshmis - Dhanalakshmi, Santanalakshmi, etc.

I'm sorry I cannot help with any further details as to how to get there & so on - seem to have forgotten the names of the roads!
