Vijayaraghava Perumal temple, Vishnu temple in Thiruputkuli, Tamil Nadu, India.

The temple features a five-tiered gateway tower surrounded by granite walls, with separate shrines for Vijayaraghava Perumal and Maragathavalli Thayar inside the complex.

Built during the 13th century by Pandya kings, the temple received architectural additions from both the Chola dynasty and Thanjavur Nayaks through subsequent periods.

The temple belongs to the 108 Divya Desams mentioned in Naalayira Divya Prabandham, the Tamil texts written by Alvar saints between the 6th and 9th centuries.

Located 11 kilometers west of Kanchipuram, the temple opens twice daily from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM with six ritual ceremonies.

The central shrine displays Vijayaraghava with four hands performing last rites for Jatayu, while Sridevi and Bhudevi face downward to express sorrow.
