Parthasarathy Temple is a major Vaishnavite place of worship in Triplicane, also known as Thiruvallikeni. It belongs to the group of 108 Divya Desams. Plan a devotional and cultural visit around its current darshan sessions and midday break.
The temple’s official introduction connects Thiruvallikeni with the traditional name Thiru-Alli-Keni and records Brindaranya as a Puranic name. These layered names help explain why maps, temple notices and neighbourhood references may use different forms for the same setting.
HRCE describes five deities within the temple’s sacred account and records its association with the Alwars. Read these traditions as part of the site’s Vaishnavite identity. Follow the named shrines and the permitted sequence rather than expecting every sacred space to operate as an exhibition.
The official account attributes renovation to a Pallava ruler. It also recounts much older sacred traditions, which should not be treated as securely dated building history. A useful visit distinguishes the living devotional narrative from claims about the age of every visible structure.
Published darshan hours are 06:00–12:00 and 16:00–21:00. Saturdays have a different schedule: 05:30–13:00 and 16:00–22:00. Leave time before the session ends, and confirm festival or ritual changes before making a tightly timed onward booking.
The official postal address is on Peyalwar Temple Street. The named map point identifies the temple compound, while approaches and queues may use the surrounding streets differently. Check the current entrance arrangement on arrival and keep street crossings clear for residents and other visitors.
Ask at the authorised counter about any selected service, ticket or offering. A single general admission tariff was not established from the pages reviewed. Observe instructions on footwear, dress, phones and photography, and seek permission before taking images that include worshippers.
Allow around seventy-five minutes for a focused visit, extending that for queues or worship. The temple can be paired with another Triplicane stop, but it is a distinct destination from Marina’s public promenade. Carry water for the journey and respect the midday break.
