Varadaraja Perumal Temple, Srivanchiyam, Thiruvarur

Varadaraja Perumal Temple, Srivanchiyam, Thiruvarur

Varadaraja Perumal Temple is a Hindu Temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu located at Srivanchiyam Village in Thiruvarur District of Tamilnadu. It is believed that Lord Vishnu undertook penance at Srivanchiyam to re-unite with Mahalakshmi. This place is considered as Parikara Sthalam for Mesha/ Rishaba/ Kadaga/ Simha/Kanya Dosham. Paadal Petra Sthalam, Vanchinatha Swamy Temple is very near to this Temple. Since the Vanchinatha Swamy temple is associated mainly with the Lord Vishnu and Sridevi re-union, it is considered that visit to the Shiva temple is completed only after the worship of Perumal and Thaayar here.

Similarly, bathing in Sesha Theertham created by Adhiseshan and worshipping Kalyana Varadaraja Perumal rids one of Naga Dosham thereby enabling child birth and bathing in Chakra Theertham created by Chakkarathalwar rids one of Brahmahatti Dosham. It is considered as Parikara Sthalam for Mesha/Rishaba/Kadaga/Simha/Kanya Dosham.
