Varadharaja Perumal Temple, Hindu temple in Kanchipuram district, India

This temple spans three outer precincts with multiple towers and contains a hundred-pillared hall featuring sculptures depicting Mahabharata and Ramayana stories.

The temple underwent significant structural expansions during the Chola dynasty in the 11th century and received later contributions from Pandya and Vijayanagara rulers.

The temple follows Pancaratra agama traditions and hosts regular ceremonies where devotees gather to perform specific rituals according to Hindu customs.

Visitors can access the temple from 6 AM to 12 PM and 4 PM to 9:30 PM daily, with photography restrictions throughout the premises.

The wooden Atthi Varadar idol, crafted from a fig tree, remains submerged in water and emerges for worship only once every 40 years.
