Arulmigu Vaithya Veeraraghavar Temple

About

Nestled in the heart of Tiruvallur, the Arulmigu Vaithya Veeraraghavar Temple is a divine haven dedicated to Lord Vishnu, where spirituality intertwines with ancient architecture. Built with the touch of antiquity, the temple's roots trace back to the Pallavas of the late 8th century CE, adorned with contributions from the Thanjavur Nayaks. The seven-tiered rajagopuram beckons you into a realm of tranquility, enclosed by a protective granite wall. As you explore the precincts, Hritayathabhanasini, the temple tank, whispers ancient tales to those who listen. Veeraraghava Perumal, in a resplendent posture, blesses devotees and imparts wisdom to Brahma. The Vimanam, named Vijayakoti, symbolizes victory over Madhukaidapas asuras. Legend has it that a dip in the Hritayathabhanasini tank, with its believed medicinal properties, absolves sins and brings solace. Devotees fervently submit metal sheets engraved with afflicted organs, seeking the deity's curative touch. Join the rhythmic flow of spirituality during the chariot and float festivals, celebrated in grandeur during the Tamil month of Chittirai.
