Chandramouleeswar Temple, Thiruvakkarai – Varadaraja Perumal Shrine

Chandramouleeswar Temple, Thiruvakkarai – Varadaraja Perumal Shrine

Varadaraja Perumal Shrine is located behind the Chandramouleeswar shrine in the temple premises. This Shrine is facing towards west. The idol of Lord Varadaraja Perumal is about six feet tall. He is in standing posture without his consorts. Lord Varadaraja Perumal is having the Chakra in prayoga form (ready to be hurled). 


This posture is Vakra in nature (contradictory to tradition). Garudazhwar and Hanuman can be seen facing Varadaraja Perumal. There is a unique stone carving called Ramakrishna can be seen on the inner wall opposite to Varadaraja Perumal. Lord Krishna is seen with Bhama and Rukmini holding a flute in his right hand and bow in his left hand.
