Vittalapuram Dharsan


With the grace of gurunathal we got bhagyam to visit mahabalipuram stalasayana perumal. No rush like anyother temple. We had nice dharshan of bhoothathalwar birth place. Then we thought of visiting Vittalapuram which is on the way to kalpakkam from mahabalipuram.This is located on the ECR, after Mahabalipuram, 2 km from Pudhupattinam. Built by the representative of the Vijayanagara King Krishna Dhevarayar (1507-1529), this is being maintained by Archeological Survey of India (ASI). Unlike the other Panduranan temples, 5 feet tall Vittal here is seen with Rukmani and Sathyabama. There is a separate shrine for Santhana lakshmi thayar as well. There are shrines for Srinivasa Perumal, Varadharaja Perumal, Ramanujar and Viswasenar.

With the grace of srisrianna(krishnapremi swamigal) this temple got renovated (Kumbabishekam) @ 05/09/2006. Deity name is Premika Vittalan.
