Tiruashtabhuyakaram - Adikesava Perumal Temple

This Vaishnava kshetra also lies very near Kanchipuram railway station. The Moolavar Adikesava Perumal is in standing posture and facing west. The garbha griha is adorned with Chandrakruthi Vimana. He gave timely succor to Gajendra and released him from his formidable foe. As he holds in His hand the potent Sudarsana Chakra with which he destroyed the crocodile, he is aptly called Chakradhara Perumal. The Goddess is called Alarmelmangai and the temple tank goes by the name of Gajendra Pushkarini. Paey Alwar and Tirumangai Alwar adorned this Lord with their ever fragrant Pasuramla. Nityanaimithika worship puja is offered according to Agama sastra with great devotional fervor.

It is in the walkable distance from Kanchipuram railway station.
