Ashtabujakaram, Dravidian temple in Kanchipuram, India
The Ashtabujakaram temple features a four-tiered gateway tower, several shrines, and two water bodies enclosed within a granite perimeter wall.
The temple, renovated by Pallavas in the 8th century, contains three inscriptions from the Chola dynasty period between 1018 and 1120 CE.
This temple forms part of the 108 Divya Desams, where Lord Vishnu receives worship as Ashta Bhuja Perumal with his consort Lakshmi as Alamelumangai.
Visitors can attend six daily rituals and three annual festivals, with opening hours from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
