Varadaraja Perumal temple (Maha Vishnu)-Entrance Gopuram-Kanchipuram-Tamil Nadu-INDIADevastanam (30 minutes) video and photo allowed outside the temple but within the compound wall, It is a clean and neat temple. There is a beautiful pond with 3 fountains and 4 gopuras not as tall as Ekambareswarar. Long queues so you will get very little time in front of the Diety to pray. But there was a separate queue, (must be paid) where you will be taken in front of the diety, where you can sit and pray. It was a nice visit.could pray peacefully. Skipped Kailasanathar temple which is little away, maybe above 4 km. It is a small temple. There is one Vishnu temple. Varadaraja Perumal temple. The gopuram was very tall. Big temple. There was no queue and quite spacious where you can stand and pray to the deity. This temple was also nice. This temple is just the opposite direction of all the above 5 temples little away. Om Namo Narayanaya/praise God !!!!
