Krishnaswami Temple, Muthialpet
The Krishnaswami Temple is a Hindu temple located in the neighbourhood of Muthialpet in Parry's corner (Old: George Town), Chennai, India. It was constructed in the 18th century AD and was the site of a major dispute between Left hand and Right hand castes in 1787 resulting in a major riot.
