The Varadharaja Perumal Temple or Hastagiri or Attiyuran is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is one of the Divya Desams; the 108 temples of Vishnu believed to have been visited by the 12 poet saints; or Alwars.

It was originally built by the Cholas in 1053 and was later expanded during the reigns of the great Chola kings Kulottunga Chola I and Vikrama Chola. In the 14th century another wall and a gopura was built by the later Chola kings. Pictures From Asia David Henley
