Went with family for the first time in Jan 2013. Why is this temple painted so garishly? And please- clean it up. It is a place of worship!

Beautiful temple. Do not miss the Vishwaroopam seva, the first service early in the morning. It is an absolute blessing and a divine feeling to watch the temple cow stand in front of the huge Vishnu statue. It is crowded on holidays and auspicious days. Other days are quite peaceful.

It is very nice to see the Vishnu standing ( around 12 feet statue ). Devotees can reach very near to the statue and can pray for a special ticket Rs 10/- Ten only. The Priest Explains the Temple History. This Temple is older than Tirumala Tirupathi Temple.

Lord Vishnu here as big brother of tirupathi venkatachalapati. If u pray for tirupathi here oppiliyappan perumal will accept. This temple is called as south tirupathi. Temple is very near to Raghu Tirunageswaram Temple. Who ever visit to Raghu they will visit this temple.

The temple God is supposed to be the brother of Lord Srinivasa. The temple diety is huge in height and surreal. The only problem in these kumbakonam temples is though they carry a such marvellous history, it cant be understood if you are non tamilian.
