[1] The Varadaraja Perumal Temple is located in Shoolagiri in Krishnagiri District, Tamil Nadu.

The front hall (mantapam) was constructed by Krishnadeva Raya of Vijayanagara empire.

As a mark of the arrival of Pancha Pandavas to this place, there are 5 big rocks together in the Shoolagiri hill.

As the Shoolagiri hill resembles trident (Shoolam in Tamil), this place got the name as 'Shoolagiri' over the period of time.

Mother Perundevi Mahalakshmi faces east in a separate sanctum.
