  • The ancient Parthasarathi Temple, located in the Triplicane area (south-east) of Madras, was built in the 8th Century by Pallava kings in the Pallava_dynasty. Additions were later made during the Chola_dynasty (dates?) and later by the Vijayanagara_Empire, sometime in the 16th C. This temple is one of the 108 main "Vishnu Divya Desam" temples. The presiding Deity Parthasarathi is a form of Lord Krishna as Arjuna's chariot driver (sarathi), during the battle of Kurukshetra (said to have taken place around 3000 BC). On the alter, "Parthasarathi" stands, holding a conch (in his right hand), between Rukmini (on his right) and Balarama (to her right), and Satyaki (to the left of Him). Parthasarathi's left hand shows the jnana-mudra. (Parthasarathi's consort is Vedavalli Ammai. ) Venkatakrishna Swami, aka Gitacarya, presides there. The tower (vimana) over the central shrine (aka Ananda Vimana) is (partially) covered with gold. On the northern part of the alter (facing south) stand Krishna's son Pradyumna and Krishna's grandson (Aniruddha). There is a separate shrine for worship of "Sri Ranganatha", who lies on "Adi Sesa" (facing east) with Lord Brahma. Other deities (to the west) are Yoga Narasimha and "utsava" Narashimha (as Alagia Singar).
