Sri Sundara Varadaraja Perumal Temple, Uthiramerur, Kanchipuram District, Tamil Nadu, Oldest Temples

The Presiding Deity of this Temple is Lord Sundara Varadaraja Perumal who is none other that Lord Vishnu Himself. He Blesses His Devotees along with His Consort Goddess Anandavalli. This Temple is unique since this is a multi-storied Temple and one of the few Temples to depict Lord Vishnu in standing, sitting and reclining posture. At the gorund floor Sri Sundara Varadaraja Perumal is housed along with Sri Devi and Bhoodevi in a standing posture. After getting Blessings from Him Devotees have to climb a narrow staircase to reach the first floor where Lord Vaikunda Varadhar is Seated. Lord Parthasarathy preaching Bagavath Geetha to Arjuna, Lord Narashimar and Lakshmi Varahar can be seen on the outer wall of the first floor. Once Devotees are Blessed by Vaikunda Varadhar they can again climb the staircase to reach the top floor of the Temple where Lord Ranganathar is found to be in a Reclined or Pallikonda Posture over the five Headed Snake Adhisesan. Here Lord Shiva is found near Lord Ranganathar. One of the rare fact is that though being a Vishnavite Temple there is a Sub Shrine for Lord Dakshinamoorthy here. This Temple also has a Sub Shrine for Achudha Varadhar, Anirudha Varadhar and Kalyana Varadhar. There is a separate Shrine for Lord Hanuman located just opposite to this Main Temple. This Temple was built by The Pallava Kings around 750 AD. Pallava King Nandhivarman II donated this entire town to 1200 Vedic Scholars who got settled here. This Temple was developed by Chola Kings, Vijayanagara Kings and Nayakas. The Sacred Tank of this Temple is known as Vairamegha Theertham.
