Chitragupta Swamy Temple

One of India''s few temples dedicated to Chitragupta, the mythological keeper of records of human deeds.

Chitragupta Swamy Temple is dedicated to Chitragupta, the celestial scribe believed to record every soul's deeds for judgment after death, making it one of only a handful of temples for this deity anywhere in India. Its relative rarity draws visitors curious about a lesser known corner of Hindu mythology rather than large scale pilgrim crowds. The compact shrine fits easily into a walking tour of Kanchipuram's temple district alongside the town's larger Shiva and Vishnu complexes.
