Poondamalli - Varadaraja Perumal Temple

Though not included in the 108 Divya tirupathis, this ancient Vaishnava kshetra is enjoying a steady stream of visitors, in addition to locals, who are regularly adorning this Lord with great devotional fervour. The shrine contains twin sunnidhis - one for Varadaraja Perumal and another for Srinivasa Perumal. This place is further sanctified by giving birth to Tirukachchi, one of the illustrious pravaktas of Vaishnava cult. The temple built in the Dravidian architectural scale and visited by town elite is maintained properly and the nityanaimithika worship is also carried on a scale exemplary to the extent of satisfaction of temple going theists. The Mother is called Pushpakavalli Tayar and is installed in a imposing minishrine. This town is known by another name as Puravindamalli also.

It is on the Madras-Bangalore National Highway at a distance of nearly 20 km off Madras commanding all transport and boarding facilities, since it is an upcoming sub-urban town.
