Vaikunta Perumal Temple

Vaikunta Perumal Temple or Thiru Parameswara Vinnagaram is an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to the Lord Vishnu.

The temple holds the prestige of being among the 108 Divyadesam dedicated to Vishnu. Lord Vishnu is worshipped in the form of Vaikuntanathan (Lord Paramapadanathan) and his consort Lakshmi as Vaikundavalli.

The hypothesis about the construction of the temple is still not very clear, some preach its construction by the Pallava King Nandivarman II in 690 CE, while others say it to be in the late 8th century.

The temple sees its outermost enclosure by a granite wall and shows an excellent work of the Dravidian style of architecture.

Now the temple has been undertaken by the Archeological Survey of India.

The temple also is of great attraction as the temple showcases the three postures of the lord- sitting, standing and sleeping, in the same temple campus.
