A Divya Desam within Kanchipuram commonly referred to as Peragam, dedicated to Vishnu's Trivikrama (cosmic three-step) form, commemorating his measuring of the universe in the Vamana avatar episode.
The temple is understood to have a long history within Kanchipuram's dense Vaishnava temple tradition, its Trivikrama dedication placing it among several Divya Desams across India that specifically honour this episode of the Vamana avatar.
A Dravidian-style temple typical of Kanchipuram, commonly known locally as Peragam ("the great place"), reflecting the temple's traditional standing within the city's temple network.
Trivikrama refers to the episode in which Vishnu, as the dwarf Vamana, grew to cosmic size and covered the universe in three strides to reclaim it from the demon king Mahabali — this shrine specifically commemorates that transformative moment within the wider Vamana avatar narrative.
