Vedapureeswarar Temple, Puducherry, Hindu temple in Puducherry, India.
The Vedapureeswarar Temple features a seven-tiered rajagopuram reaching 75 feet high and contains multiple halls leading to the sanctum sanctorum.
Following destruction by French troops in 1748, Divan Kandappa Mudaliar coordinated the temple reconstruction in 1788 using contributions from the public.
