Vaikuntha Perumal Temple

The Vaikuntha Perumal temple at Kanchoipuram is an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It was built shortly after the construction of the Kailashnatha temple (7th century CE). There are covered passages inside the outer walls of this temple, which are supported by lion pillars. Representing the first phase, of the architectural evolution the grand thousand pillared mandaps were built within numerous south Indian temples. There are many sculptures carved out of stones within the temple premises telling us about the rich culture and heritage of the city.

The detailed information is available in an eighth century script that tells us about the three different levels of the main shrine constructed, mainly dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It contains the images of Lord Vishnu in standing, sitting and reclining postures.

Gud that we can know about the scriptings of the early 8th century. But could be made even more informative.
