Perumbakkam: Temples and Travel Planning

Temple connections in Perumbakkam

Perumbakkam can be placed in context for travel planning through its specific temple connections. Sri Kailasanathar Temple is located in the town; Sri Kailasanathar is its presiding deity. If you want to focus on culture, this temple is a clearly identified point of reference. Another temple and the stated arrival points provide additional guidance.

Sri Kailasanathar Temple

A Subramaniar is located in the outer praharam of Sri Kailasanathar Temple and was attributed to the Pallava period in a temple report published in 2024. This brings together two distinct details within the same temple: Sri Kailasanathar as the presiding deity and the historically dated Subramaniar in the outer praharam. If you are interested in temple history, this gives you a specific point of reference alongside the name of the presiding deity. The location in the outer praharam helps you place this detail within the temple.

Another temple

Perumbakkam is also home to Sri Venkata Varadaraja Perumal Temple, associated with Sri Perundevi Thayar. A report from 2021 mentions this temple and its connection with Sri Perundevi Thayar. This temple and Sri Kailasanathar Temple are therefore two separate, specifically named religious points of reference in Perumbakkam. If your interest extends beyond Sri Kailasanathar Temple, you can include both names separately in your travel plans and choose your focus. Sri Kailasanathar is the presiding deity of the first temple; the second is associated with Sri Perundevi Thayar.

Distances and travel

The nearest railway station to Sri Kailasanathar Temple in Perumbakkam is Viluppuram. The temple is approximately 8.6 km from Viluppuram railway station and about 8.0 km from the New Bus Stand. Both figures are approximate and may vary depending on the route. They are similar in scale; the stated distance to the New Bus Stand is slightly shorter than the distance to the railway station. If you are planning to travel by train, check current services to Viluppuram before organizing the rest of your trip.

There is also a branch road from Perumbakkam that leads directly to Tiruvakkarai; road conditions may change. If you plan to use this connection, check the current road conditions. This lets you consider the road information separately from the train journey via Viluppuram.

Find a hotel in Perumbakkam

Consider whether your main focus is Sri Kailasanathar Temple, Sri Venkata Varadaraja Perumal Temple as well, or travel via Viluppuram. If you are travelling by train, check current train services to Viluppuram. Compare the specific hotel address and booking conditions before deciding. This way, you can tailor your search to your actual itinerary rather than choosing based only on the place name.
