The temple's architecture is a magnificent testament to the rich heritage of South Indian temple craftsmanship. From the moment I laid eyes on its towering gopuram (entrance tower) adorned with intricate sculptures, I was in awe. The attention to detail and the skillful craftsmanship showcased in every nook and cranny left me spellbound ????

Upon entering the temple, I was enveloped in an aura of tranquility and devotion. The atmosphere was serene, with soft chants filling the air, creating an ambiance that instantly transported me into a state of deep spiritual introspection.

Golden lizard sculpture was unbelievable ????

One of the holi places for vaishnavaits( those who follow lord Vishnu) among 108 holi places (106 on earth, 2 on celestial world after life the soul would visit per vaishnavaits). Medieval dravidian architecture with compound wall with old inscription, well decorated pillars and beautiful stone carvings. One of the very important festival / event is to retrieve the wooden god lord vishnu made out of fig tree from the temple pond once in every 40 years , decorate it and install in a special pedestal for worship for 48 days during July 1st and Aug 17th. It is a huge crowd pulling event where all believers gather from all over the world. Last event ended on 17 Aug 2019 just before the pandemic. Next is scheduled for 2059. Lot of tourists visit this temple so avoid going on Fridays and weekends. This temple offers free lunch served on banana leaf. There is a special room on the ceiling there is a golden. Lizard. The devotees touch the lizard with a belief that will be relieved of their sins and curses. Finally it can be reached from chennai on a day trip . I went via Wallajabad. The last 20 km road is very bad with bumpy ride. May be there is a better route, but I followed what google map suggested. Avoid going in summer apr—aug as this place is very hot and humid
