What to expect
Uthamar Kovil (Purushothama Perumal Temple)
One of the 108 Divya Desams, glorified in the Nalayira Divya Prabandham by Thirumangai Alvar. It is the only temple where the Trimurti - Brahma, Vishnu (worshipped here as Purushothama Perumal) and Shiva - are enshrined together with their consorts in six separate shrines. Built in Dravidian style, it once formed a four-Divya-Desam circuit with Uraiyur, Srirangam and Thiruvellarai.

Book with the place itself. India’s cyber-crime coordination centre warned in April 2025 that convincing copies of hotel and pilgrimage booking sites are being pushed through sponsored search and social ads, taking payment for rooms the property never hears about. Every listing here links to the business’s own contact details and its own Google or Bing profile — we take no commission and sit in nobody’s payment path. If a booking page reached you through an ad, check the address bar against the property’s own site before you pay. Fraud can be reported on cybercrime.gov.in or on 1930.
