Vedarajan temple, Thirunagari, Hindu temple in Nagapattinam district, India.

The Vedarajan Temple features a seven-tiered rajagopuram gateway tower and granite walls enclosing multiple shrines within its two-acre complex.

The temple construction began during the Chola dynasty rule, with later expansions by Vijayanagara and Thanjavur Nayak kings in the 16th century.

The temple ranks among the 108 Divya Desams dedicated to Vishnu and received recognition in the Naalayira Divya Prabandham medieval Tamil texts.

The temple conducts four daily rituals at specific times: 8:00 AM for Kalasanthi, 12:00 PM for Uchikalam, 5:00 PM for Sayarakshai, and 8:00 PM for Aravanai.

The temple houses the granite image of Vedarajan in sitting posture and marks the birthplace of Thirumangai Alvar, a significant Alvar saint.
