Tirucherai Saranathan Temple, Hindu temple in Tiruvarur district, India
The Saranathan Temple features a 120-foot tall granite gateway tower with five tiers and contains multiple shrines within its walled complex.
The temple construction dates to Medieval Chola period, with additional contributions from the Vijayanagara Empire and Madurai Nayaks through centuries.
The temple holds six daily ceremonies and three annual festivals, including a grand chariot procession during the Tamil month of Chittirai.
The Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of Tamil Nadu manages the temple, which maintains regular visiting hours and provides guidance for religious ceremonies.
This temple stands as the only Divya Desam where Lord Vishnu resides with five consorts, alongside a dedicated shrine to the river Kaveri.
