Chenraya Perumal Temple

Chenraya Perumal Temple is a Hindu shrine in Adhiyamankottam built with stone carvings and detailed architectural elements from two major regional building traditions. The structure combines construction methods that reflect the craftsmanship of different periods of rule in this area.

The temple was built during the rule of multiple dynasties with major additions made in the time of Krishnadevaraya of the Vijayanagar Empire. This period shaped the essential features that remain visible in the structure today.

The temple serves as a place of worship where devotees gather to offer prayers and perform rituals honoring Lord Vishnu. Daily religious practices shape how people experience and use the space.

The temple sits about 7 kilometers from Dharmapuri along the Salem road and is accessible by regular public transportation. Visitors can reach it conveniently using buses or other vehicles from nearby towns.

The site is registered under the protection of the Archaeological Survey of India, securing its status as a nationally protected building. This official designation helps ensure that the old structures and their crafted details endure for future generations.
