Prasanna Venkatachalapathi Temple, Thuraiyur, Hindu temple on Perumalmalai hill in Thuraiyur, India.

The temple features 1532 stone steps leading to the main shrine, where Lord Vishnu stands with Sri Devi and Bhoodevi in wedding postures.

The temple construction dates back to the era of Karikala's grandchildren, marking a significant period in Tamil Nadu's religious architecture.

Religious ceremonies occur throughout the year, with six daily rituals and special celebrations during the months of Chithirai, Vaigasi, Karthigai, and Margazhi.

The temple opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with extended hours from 5 AM to 8 PM during Purattasi Saturdays, located 3 kilometers from Thuraiyur.

The temple's stone pillars produce seven musical notes when struck, creating natural musical resonance within the sacred structure.
