Rajagopalaswamy Temple, Mannargudi, Hindu temple in Mannargudi, Tamil Nadu.

The temple complex spans across 23 acres with 16 towers, 24 shrines, 7 halls, and 9 sacred water bodies within its grounds.

King Kulothunga Chola I constructed this temple between 1070-1125 CE using limestone mortar and bricks, initiating the development of Mannargudi town.

The temple functions as a Vaishnava center where Lord Krishna manifests as Vamadeva Perumal in the main shrine and Rajagopalaswamy in the festival deity.

The temple maintains a rainwater collection system at its entrance and features the Harit Thiranti tank measuring 1,158 feet in length and 837 feet in width.

The temple serves dosa offerings exclusively in the evening, similar to the practice at Kallalagar Temple in Madurai.
