Lord Parthasarathi Temple of Lord Vishnu with five sanctums is situated in Chennai city, the capital of the southern state of Tamil Nadu.. Each sanctum is dedicated to different forms of the Lord as Sri Parthasarathi, Narasimha, Rama, Ranganatha and Varadaraja. This is one of the 108 Tirupatis of Lord Vishnu, and many sages have worshipped in this shrine and attained mukti (salvation). In Puranic times, this place was known as Vrindaranya or Tulsivanam. Tamil saints like Pey Alwar, Thirumazhisai Alwar and Thirumangai Alwar have sung in praise of the Lord. The main shrine is dedicated to Lord Venkata Krishnaswami (Parthasarathi). He is standing in the company of Devi Rukmini, Satyaki, Balarama (His brother), Pradyumna (His son) and Aniruddha (His grandson). This rare combination of Sri Krishna's family is revered as the Pancha Veeras.
