Jakath Rakshaka Perumal Temple, Thirukkoodaloor, Hindu temple in Vadakurangaduthurai, India.
The temple features a three-tiered gateway tower and a central shrine containing a standing figure of Vishnu as Jakath Rakshaka Perumal.
Medieval Cholas constructed the temple in the late 8th century CE, with later additions from Vijayanagara kings and Madurai Nayaks enhanced its structure.
The temple maintains six daily ceremonies and three annual festivals, with Brahmotsavam in the Tamil month of Vaikasi being the main celebration.
The temple is accessible via Kumbakonam railway station and Tiruchirapalli International Airport, with local transportation options available for the final approach.
A natural conch symbol appears on the sacred jack tree within the temple grounds, leading to its alternate name as Vayyam Kaatha Perumal Temple.
