History & tradition
Veeraraghava Swamy Temple is in Tiruvallur, Tamil Nadu, and is counted among the 108 Divya Desams praised by the Alvar saints. Vishnu is worshipped here as Veeraraghava Perumal and Lakshmi as Kanakavalli Thayar; tradition says he appeared at this place to marry her. The temple is believed to have been begun under the Pallavas in the late 8th century, with later additions by the Thanjavur Nayaks, and it carries three inscriptions from the Chola period. A seven-tiered rajagopuram leads into the walled complex, and the temple tank, Hritayathabhanasini, lies to its west. The temple also maintains a goshala.
