Alwarthirunagari Permual Temple, Hindu temple in Thoothukudi district, India.

The Adhinatha Temple displays carved stone pillars, tiered towers, and intricate sculptures depicting scenes from Hindu mythology throughout its corridors and walls.

The temple gained importance during the medieval period as one of the 108 Divya Desams, sacred places mentioned in texts by Tamil Vaishnavite saints.

Devotees gather at the temple during festivals in the Tamil months of Masi and Panguni to participate in traditional music performances and religious ceremonies.

The temple maintains regular hours from 6:00 AM to noon and 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with special arrangements during major religious celebrations.

This temple stands as the birthplace of Nammalvar, one of the twelve Alvar saints who composed devotional poetry in Tamil dedicated to Vishnu.
