3) Iskcon Temple:

The Iskcon is a worldwide religious movement for devotion towards Lord Sri Krishna. The Iskcon temple in ECR, Chennai is one of the biggest shrines for the deity in Chennai, and one of the biggest Iskcon temples around the world. The temple houses the deities, Lord Krishna, alongside Radharani and their friends Lalita, Lord Chaitanya, Lord Jagannath, Baladeva, and Subhadra inside three teak-wood alters which are one of a kind. These deities are sourced from Rajasthan and Odisha.

The temple visit is rejuvenating because of its calm and sanctity filled atmosphere. In addition to this temple, you can also visit the small Matsyanarayana Temple which is nearby. The Matsyanarayana temple was inaugurated recently and is maintained by the Chinmaya Mission. The fully exterior temple houses a marble stone deity of the Matsya avatar of Lord Vishnu. The temple has a strict no-sound policy to ensure that visitors have a calm and relaxed experience. The temple, which is along the shore of the beach, is the best place to meditate on a stressful day.
