01 — The story

Chenraya Perumal Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu in the town of Adhiyamankottai in Dharmapuri district, Tamil Nadu. It lies 7 km from Dharmapuri on the road to Salem.

The temple is believed to have been built by Hoysala and Vijayanagar kings, of whom Krishnadevaraya is the most prominent. The Archaeological Survey of India protects it as a monument of national importance, listed under the code N-TN-C18. It should not be confused with another Chenraya Perumal temple near Batlagundu in Dindigul district.
