Sri Varadaraja Perumal Temple, Puducherry - History details
A major Vaishnavite shrine in Heritage Town, the Varadaraja Perumal–Perundevi Thayar Temple traces its core to the 11th‑century Cholas with later 12th‑century Pandya additions. A five‑tier rajagopuram fronts granite‑walled prakaram; images rescued during 18th‑century conflicts were rehoused here. Annual Brahmotsavam (Chithirai/April–May) and Pavitrotsavam (Avani/Aug–Sept) draw devotees across Puducherry.
