Description
The Adi Kalyana Jagannatha Perumal is a South Indian temple in Thirupallani which is a village in the district of Ramanathpuram. This temple is inspired by the Dravidian style of architecture. The Adi Kalyana Jagannatha Perumal temple is devoted to the Lord Vishnu and also is one of the 108 divya desams.
History
It is supposed that the temple was built in the Medieval Cholla era that was devoted to rama along with several other temples. The king of Cholla - Parantaka named him "Sangrama Raghav" after his annexation of Sri Lanka, whereas Parantaka's son Aditya1 was known as Kothandarama. A few contributions were made by some later pandhya kings to the Kalyana Jagannatha Peruma temple. In the 37th year of Maravaman Sundhara Pandyan one mutilated inscription was made in 1305 records orders of a priest as the name of Arya Chakravarti. Some Historians believed that a few portions of the temple top might be built by the Jaffna Kings. And the Jaffna kings were the friends of The Pandya Empire. In The Vijayanagara period, other Vishnu temples in the nearby regions made a lot of assistance to the Adi Kalyana Jagannatha Perumal temple.

The Adi Kalyana Jagannatha Perumal temple is situated in Thirupallani, which is a village 10 km away from Ramanathapuram district. The temple has a 5 tiered rajgopuram which means the main entry tower facing the east direction.
