Adeeswar Temple is one of the brilliant temples to visit in Chennai due to its meditative environment and tranquil vibes. This temple sits a bit beside the Redhill Lake by the Grand Trunk Street which consider being the street that joins Chennai to the rest of Tamil Nadu. It is for this very reason that it is also known as the "Doorway toward the South". The Jain people group in India is especially attached to this shrine as it was worked to respect their first god Lord Adeeswar, or Adi Bhagwan, or any of the numerous names that he is known by. Tirthankar Rishabhdev, which was his given name, is accepted to be the person who started the religion. However, Jains accept their religion to be timeless, existing far before any Hindu gods existed. If you are Jain, to visit this temple is a feast to the senses with the complicatedly cut Jain design portrayed here! The temple also holds high scholarly worth as the inscriptions that cover the walls of this temple have become an essential piece of Tamil writing. The temple is famous for its earth-shaded graced with life-size statues of an elephant and a legendary mystic animal.
