Location
Chakrapani Temple is a Vishnu temple located in a serene and religious environment in Kumbakonam. The prime deity is Chakraraja, a form of Lord Vishnu adorned with Sudharshana Chakra.
The temple structure is superb with amazingly designed Gopurams and structures. It is a real specimen of ancient South Indian architectural brilliance. One important feature of this temple is the Vilva (Bilwa) archana, an offer presented to the main deity. Typically this offer is made to hiva, but in this temple this offer can be made to Lord Vishnu.
