The Sundaravarada Perumal Temple in Uthiramerur, a village in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu.

The temple was originally built by Pallavas, with later additions from the Cholas, Pandyas, Sambuvarayas, Vijayanagara Rayas and the Nayaks.

Sundaravarada Perumal is believed to have appeared for Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva, the Pandava princes in Mahabharata, while Anandavalli for their wife Draupadi.

The temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the Government of Tamil Nadu.

The process of democratically electing the local representatives through a system called Kudavolai during the Chola regime is documented in the inscriptions.

[3][4] The region and the village went under the sway of Pandyas during the 13th century and subsequently to the Telugu Chola ruler Vijaya Gandagopala.

During the later period, the village switched hands to Pallava chieftains, Telugu Cholas, Samburavarayars and finally Kumara Kampana.

[1] Sundaravarada Perumal temple covers an area of about 2 acres (0.81 hectares) and has a five-tiered gopuram (gateway tower).

The sanctum first tier houses the image of Vaikuntavarada in seated posture with Sridevi and Bhudevi on either of his sides.

The roof of the sanctum is called Padma Kosthta Ashtanga Vimana, which has sculptural depiction of the nine different forms of Vishnu.

[1] The Sundaravarada Perumal temple is said to have been constructed by the mason Paramesa Vathan, who was extremely skilled in Vastu shastra.

In modern times, the temple priests perform the pooja (rituals) during festivals and on a daily basis.

As at other Vishnu temples of Tamil Nadu, the priests belong to the Vaishnavaite community, a Brahmin sub-caste.
