Sri Varadharaja Perumal Temple, Thirukkachchi
- Varadharaja Perumal Temple also known as Hastagiri or Attiyuran.
- Kanchipuram Varadaraja Perumal temple is known as the ‘Perumal Koil’.
- Another significant thing about the temple is beautiful carved lizards and platted with gold, over the sanctum.
- Lord Varadharaja Swamy resides in the upper prakaram. There are two long Mandaps under the tank north of the 100 pillar mandap in the temple, where the 40 feet long Athi Varadaraja Perumal in his reclining posture is placed. The 40 feet long idol of Lord Athi Varadaraja Perumal in reclining posture is made of Athi wood. This is brought out once in 40 years for the darshan of devotees, for a period of 48 days. The next viewing of this deity is scheduled for the year 2019.
- People pray to Perumal for achieving excellence in education and family welfare and prosperity.
- Lord Sudarshana Azhwar removes the obstacles in wedding proposals of the devotees.
- Women facing health problems and seeking child boon pray to Mother Perundevi Thayar.
- As Perumal granted a boon – Varam in Tamil – to Lord Brahmma pleased with His Yajna, He is praised as Varadaraja Perumal. The Legend is that Lord Brahma worshipped Lord Varadharaja Swamy in Krita Yuga, Gajendra in Treta Yuga, Brihaspati in Dvapara Yuga and Ananta Shesha in Kali Yuga.
- It is believed that Airavata, the elephant of Indra in the form of a hill bears the image of Lord Varadharaja Swamy.
