Pandava Thoothar Perumal Temple
Pandavathootha Perumal Temple or Thirupadagam located in Kanchipuram in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu. Constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture, the temple is glorified in the ''Divya Prabandha'', the early medieval Tamil canon of the Azhwar saints from the 6th–9th centuries AD. It is one of the 108 ''Divyadesam'' dedicated to Vishnu, who is worshipped as Pandava Thoothar Perumal and his consort Lakshmi as Rukmini.
The temple is considered one of three oldest temples in Kanchipuram, the other two being Ulagalantha Perumal Temple and Yathothkari Perumal Temple. The temple is believed to have been built by the Pallavas of the late 8th century AD, with later contributions from Medieval Cholas and Vijayanagar kings. The temple has three inscriptions on its walls, two dating from the period of Kulothunga Chola I (1070–1120 CE) and one to that of Rajadhiraja Chola (1018-54 CE). A granite wall surrounds the temple, enclosing all the shrines and two bodies of water. There is a four-tiered ''rajagopuram'', the temple's gateway tower, in the temple.
Pandava Thoothar is believed to have appeared to Pandavas. Six daily rituals and three yearly festivals are held at the temple, of which the Krishna Janmasthami festival, celebrated during the Tamil month of ''Aavani'' (August–September), being the most prominent. The temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the Government of Tamil Nadu.
==Legend==
As per Hindu legend, the temple is associated with a chapter in Mahabharata when Krishna went to the Kauravas as a missive to the Pandavas. Duryodhana, the king of the Kouravas, had a paln to arrest and kill Krishna while he was in Hastinapura. He dug a deep pit and covered it with a carpet and a chair studded with gems. He had wrestlers hidden in the pit to wrangle Krishna. Krishna, being the avatar of Vishnu portrayed Vishwaroopa, a giant form to all the courtment and also to Dhritarashtra, the blind king and father of Duryodana.〔Madhavan 2007, pp. 1-2〕〔PVR 1982, p. 46-7〕〔R. 2001, pp. 522-3〕 When Krishna offered a boon to Dhritarashtra, he requested Krishna to make him blind again as he did not want to see anything after seeing the Vishwaroopa.〔MS 1993, pp. 57-60〕 Krishna also appeared in the same form to Janamajeya, the great-grandson of Arjuna, who was doing penance to view god in Viswaroopa.〔〔 ''Pada'' means big and ''Agam'' means residence, signifying Thirupadagam as the place where Vishnu resides with his giant form.〔
