Sowmya Narayana Perumal temple, Hindu temple in Thirukoshtiyur, India.

The temple complex features a five-tiered gateway tower and contains multiple shrines dedicated to different forms of Vishnu across three vertical levels.

During ancient times, according to regional legends, deities and sages gathered at this location to discuss solutions against the demon king Hiranyakashipu.

The temple stands as one of the 108 Divya Desams, sacred places in Vaishnavism tradition, celebrated through hymns of Tamil saints from the 6th century.
