Soundararajaperumal Temple, Nagapattinam, Hindu temple in Nagapattinam, India
The Soundararajaperumal Temple features a five-tiered granite gateway tower and houses shrines dedicated to Vishnu as Soundararaja Perumal and Lakshmi as Soundaravalli.
The Medieval Cholas constructed the temple during the late 8th century CE, with subsequent additions by Thanjavur Nayaks who enhanced its architectural elements over time.
The temple follows Thenkalai Vaishnavite traditions with Brahmin priests performing six daily ceremonies involving decorations, food offerings, and traditional lamp rituals.
Visitors can access the temple between 7:30 AM to 12 PM and 5:30 PM to 9 PM through nearby railway stations and explore multiple shrines within the complex.
The temple's rajagopuram served dual purposes as both a religious structure and a lighthouse following a request from Dutch settlers during the Nayak period.
