The Sri Adikesavaperumal Temple is a Hindu temple located in Thiruvattar, India an is one of the 108 divyadesams (holy shrines) of Vishnu. The temple is a picturesque setting surrounded on three sides by rivers (River Kothai, River Pahrali and River Thamirabarani). The lord is lying on his snake couch and has to be viewed through three doors. We could see Lord Shiva near the Lord Adikesava Perumal inside the sannidhi.Deepalakshmis are many but none resembles the other. The Otraikkal Mandapam (single stone hall) made of single stone 3 feet thick is a marvel. Oorthuva Thandavam, Venugopala, Rathi, Manmatha, Lakshmana and Indrajit are excellently carved. The temple is also renowned for its murals. This Temple is older than PadmanabhaSwamy Temple at Thiruvananthapuram. The style and the architechture of this temple is taken as the sample to construct the PadmanabhaSwamy Temple at Thiruvananthapuram. There is also a Small Shrine for Lord Lakshmi Narasimhaswamy near the River and opposite to the AdiKesavaPerumal Temple. Vaikunta Ekadesi is celebrated with pomp and glory.
