About

The Koodal Azhagar Temple is one of the 108 Divya Desams in Madurai, dedicated to Lord Vishnu as Koodal Azhagar. It is one of the few Vaishnava temples in Madurai, which is primarily famous for the Shaiva Meenakshi Temple.

The temple enshrines Vishnu in three different postures — standing, sitting, and reclining — on three different floors, making it architecturally unique among Divya Desams.
