A TEMPLE WHERE ASHWAMEDHA YAGNA WAS PERFORMED

   



The Divya Kshetram PARAMESWARA VINNAGARAM is located in the temple town of  Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu. This is called Vaikunta Natha Perumal Temple.

The presiding deity is Vaikunta Nathan and the Goddess is Vaikuntavalli. The sacred water is Iyramada theertham and the sanctum sanctorum is Mukunda vimanam.

The legend has it that  the Dwarapalakas of vaikuntam were reborn as Pallava and Villava and they performed Ashwamedha Yagna at this shrine and the Lord gave them darsan as Paramapada Nathan.

The sanctum sanctorum in this temple has three tiers . In the first tier the Lord gives darsan in the sitting posture, in the middle tier as Ranganatha in the reclining posture, with Sri Devi and Bhoodevi, and in the top tier He is in the standing posture.
