Vaithiyanathaswamy and Varadaraja Perumal Temple

The Vaithiyanathaswamy and Varadaraja Perumal Temple is a Hindu temple complex located in Sellur village in Puducherry, India. It houses separate shrines for Lord Shiva as Vaithiyanathaswamy and Lord Vishnu as Varadaraja Perumal within a single compound, a relatively uncommon dual-deity arrangement. The temple serves as a local place of worship and reflects traditional South Indian Dravidian architecture, attracting devotees and visitors interested in religious and architectural heritage.

Visitors can expect a compact South Indian temple compound with two main shrines dedicated to Shiva and Vishnu, along with associated mandapas, gopuram-style entrance and stone idols. The setting is a quiet village environment in Sellur, with a courtyard for circumambulation, small shrines for associated deities, and daily pooja rituals. Visitors can observe traditional architecture, offer prayers, and experience a calm devotional atmosphere typical of local Puducherry temples.
