Neelamegha Perumal Temple, Hindu temple in Thirukannapuram, India
The Neelamegha Perumal Temple features a seven-tiered granite tower reaching 100 feet high and encompasses multiple shrines within its 1.5-acre complex.
The temple construction began during the Chola dynasty period, with subsequent modifications and expansions completed under the governance of Thanjavur Nayaks.
The temple belongs to the 108 Divya Desams, sacred Vishnu temples praised through hymns by Tamil saints known as Alvars between 6th and 9th centuries.
Located 28 kilometers from Nagapattinam railway station, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 7 AM to 8 PM with four temple tanks for ritual practices.
According to records, the main deity appeared wearing a wig to protect a devoted priest, leading to the alternate name Sowriraja Perumal Temple.
