Kishkinta was a theme park located in Chennai, India. It was founded by Navodaya Appachan, the owner of Navodaya Studio. The park named after the fabled simian kingdom in the epic Ramayana. It spread across 120 acres (49 ha) of vast area with a scenic landscape, bushes, fountains, decorations and designs. Along with these, the park had various entertainment such as wave pools, water rides, roller coasters, and toy trains, especially for children who visited for picnics.

Following a fatal accident caused by a Disk'O ride malfunction, this theme park has been closed since June 2025 for safety reasons.[1]
