Itinéraire
La promenade de Chennai se déroule à Mylapore, un site antique avec des documents écrits remontant au 1er siècle après JC. C'est une terre de plusieurs dieux ! Nous commencerons la visite à pied à Chennai au temple de Kapaaleswar, le temple le plus célèbre de Mylapore. Le Temple est l'épicentre de Mylapore et notre guide démystifiera tous les rituels fantastiques qui se déroulent dans le temple !
Ensuite, lors de notre promenade à Chennai, nous visiterons le monastère et le temple universel de Ramakrishna, l'un des plus grands philosophes indiens. Notre évangéliste culturel vous expliquera sa contribution à la philosophie indienne, sa croyance en l'harmonie des religions. Son travail stellaire en agissant comme un pont entre les mondes ancien et moderne.
Le temple Vasupujya Swami est un temple Shwetambara Jain et possède une architecture impressionnante. Le temple est dédié au Seigneur Mahavira et aux 24 autres Tirtankaras (enseignants spirituels). Le temple a une ambiance envoûtante et ajoute à la diversité religieuse de Mylapore.
La visite à pied de Chennai nous amène à l'église principale de l'archidiocèse catholique romain de Madras et Mylapore. C'est une expérience fascinante à l'intérieur de la basilique de style néo-gothique. Le sanctuaire conserve un petit os et la lance qui a transpercé Saint Thomas en l'an 52 et qui est en effet le point culminant de cette promenade de Chennai.

Experience was great. Solo tour! Admission fee was 2500 I believe. The length of the tour was about 3 hours. The atmosphere was warm and busy but not too hot, very pleasant. Best for sight of temples and churches in Mylapore. Jainath was my tour guide. He was fantastic and full of information.
Kannan was a Very knowledgeable guide. Very informative tour.
Very informative tour, Kannan did a great job education us in a very relevant and relatable way
I had a wonderful experience with Hareesh. I was a little anxious heading into the tour as a female solo traveler after learning no one else had signed up to join my group tour date but I felt at complete ease with Hareesh who was incredibly friendly and warm. His English was very easy to understand and he was incredibly knowledgeable about the areas of Mylapore that we explored. I would highly recommend this tour to any visitor to Chennai looking to grow more familiar with faith traditions in Chennai (both Hindu and Christian) in an organic way. I left excited to dive deeper into many of the people and events we discussed and incredibly satisfied with my experience. I would recommend this tour without reservation!
Had the best few hours exploring Mylapore with Ganesh. He was extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and always made sure I felt comfortable or safe! Would 100% recommend for anyone, and can vouch as a solo traveller it was great. Thanks again Ganesh (the God of good luck!)
I had an amazing experience on this tour. I learned a lot about the history of Chennai and how temples of multiple religions have play a major role in the city, from biblical times through today. My guide, Kannan was excellent. He was he extremely knowledgeable, giving me detailed explanations and important context at each stop. He was also very friendly and attentative, making sure I was enjoying my tour, getting good photos, and was doing ok in the extreme May heat. I definitely recommend 5 Senses as a tour provider, and highly recommend my guide, Kannan.
