Thiruparameshwara Vinnagaram- Sri Vaikunta perumal temple, Kanchipuram
About the temple
The presiding deity of the temple is Sri Vaikunta naathan perumal or
Paramapada nathan perumal in a sitting posture and thayar in a seperate
sannadhi is known as Vaikuntha valli thayar. The temple is among the 108
divyadesams of Sri vaishnavas and comes under Tondai naatu divyadesams.
The temple is among the very few temples with Ashtanga vimanam-the
others being Thirukoshtiyur, Thiru Koodalazhagar and Uttiramerur.
Although the upper tiers are not accessible now, the presiding deities
there are in standing and reclining postures. Sri Ramanujar and Sri
Manavalamamunigal are said to have been to the temple.
Lord Vishnu is said to have appeared here to bless the children of King
of Vidarbha - Pallavan and Vallavan who performed Ashwamedha yagnam at
this place. The children are believed to be the reincarnation of
Vishnu's Dwarapalakas.
The architecture of the temple is very beautiful and the temple is
presently under the care of the Archeological survey of India.
