Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple

This guide to Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple follows the yearly procession that leaves from its gate during the Hindu month of Thai, when fasting devotees carry towering kavadi frames on a three-point-two kilometre walk to the Chettiars' Temple. It also traces the temple's own founding in 1851, when six Tamil community leaders pooled their savings to buy this land, and the shrine to Narasimha Perumal they built four years later. Stand at the gate the procession leaves from, where this story starts each year.
