 | | The Captain’s Gardens Kovil, situated in Maradana, is one of the oldest Hindu temples in the country. |
 | | While the kovil is chiefly devoted to Eashwara or Shiva and Shakthi (his consort), it also houses and honours all the Hindu gods including Durga, Vishnu, Skanda, Lakshmi, Saraswati, the nine gods of the planets and a temple for Ganesh. |
 | | The kovil was one of many places of worship that held a special Shanthi Pooja and alms giving on December 26, for those who lost their lives to the tsunami. |
