I'm very much impressed with this Perumal than any other place.

The sculpture was very different and looks very very old.

Yes! As said, the temple is very old than any temples nearby. Maybe I liked coz of it. One of the very oldest temple in Kanchipuram.

Visit and see for yourself!

It's a very divine experience you can feel, less crowd but still there is footfall of devotees who throng to the Mandir or Kovil for Kadavals Arul.
The temple is found in Big Kanchipuram, and situated close Kamakshi Amman Temple. The temple complex actually houses four Divya Desams in its different precincts, namely, Thirukkarvaanam, Thirukaaragam, Thiruneeragam, and Thiruooragam, that last of which is present with in the sanctum sanctorum of the main temple.
The temple tank, Naga Tirtha, is located outside the main temple complex.

This was the first temple I visited on my trip to Kanchipuram. Almost all the temples are in middle of city in crowded markets, and there were parking challenges since it was a weekend. I would suggest to use a local auto service, as they would drop you right at gate, and pick up from there.

Though temple is old, and not suitable for wheelchair bound people, but people are helpful, and will help you take wheelchair across some difficult terrain, so people with partial mobility can visit

Temple architecture is magnificent, though not tall unlike some other temples in town

It is one of the important Divya Desam located in kancheepuram. Every perumal devotee must visit these Divya Desams.

Divine experience, must visit. Some parts of temple in renovation.
Especially visit Andal thayaar sannidhi

Divya Desam temple, called Thiruooragam, dedicated to Vaman avatar of Vishnu.
