HRCE minister P. K. Sekar Babu inaugurated the new lighting system of Sri Kapaleeswar Temple
Mylapore on February 15.
The two gopurams and all the vimanams have been illuminated; the colours of the lights change in turns automatically.
The lighting gives the temple a great look at night, when see from afar.
About Rs.2 crores was spent on this project.
Some temple-goers suggest that the 16-pillar mantapam on the eastern side of the temple, in Sannidhi Street must also be illuminated.
