Tiruvelukkai, Hindu temple in Kanchipuram, India
The Tiruvelukkai temple features three primary shrines dedicated to Azhagiya Singar, Amruthavalli, and Garuda, with a three-tiered granite gateway tower called rajagopuram.
Built by the Pallava dynasty in the late 8th century CE, the temple walls contain inscriptions from the reigns of Kulothunga Chola I and Rajadhiraja Chola.
The temple stands as one of the 108 Divya Desams dedicated to Lord Vishnu and receives praise in the Nalayira Divya Prabandham canon.
The temple maintains regular hours from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with six daily rituals performed by priests following Vaikanasa Agama traditions.
The name Tiruvelukkai derives from 'Vel' meaning desire and 'irukkai' meaning place of stay, marking the location where Vishnu chose to reside permanently.
