Yathothkari Perumal Temple, Ancient Hindu temple in Kanchipuram, India

This temple features a three-tiered entrance tower, granite walls, and houses multiple shrines dedicated to Vishnu, Rama, Sita, and Hanuman.

Built during the Pallava dynasty in the 8th century CE, the temple received contributions from Chola rulers who provided gold and land for maintenance.

The temple hosts daily rituals six times and celebrates three annual festivals, including the Panguni Brahmotsavam during April and May.

Located in Tamil Nadu, the temple maintains specific regulations regarding photography inside its premises to preserve the sanctity of worship.

The deity inside the sanctum reclines on a serpent couch with head positioned to the left, contrary to traditional right-side positioning in other temples.
