'''Soundararajan Temple''' is an old Hindu temple located in [[Kadichambadi]] village near [[Kumbakonam]] in [[Tamil Nadu]], India. It is dedicated to the Hindu god [[Vishnu]]. According to Hindu mythology, the site was the place from where Vishnu gave glorious appearance to Brahma.<br />
<br />
==Temple complex==<br />
The [[gopuram|Rajagopuram]] of Soundararajan Temple comprises three phrases. The main entrance of the temple faces eastwards (there was formerly a separate complex for ''garudhan'' which is now shifted to the temple entrance). The centre of the temple consists of a separate complex for Shri Saundararajan Perumal which is east facing. There is also a separate complex for Sri Saundaravalli and [[Andal]].<br />
<br />
== Temple Deities ==<br />

== Temple Tank ==<br />
The temple tank or [[pushkarani]] is located to the north of the temple. Biruku Munivar did ''thavas'' near this tank to get rid of his sin. Hence it is also called “Birukuthirtham” and “Brahmathirtham”.<br />

== Stone inscriptions ==<br />
There are incomplete stone inscriptions in the walls of the Sri Soundaravalli complex and near to Alvar.<br />
<br />
The sense of the Sri Soundaravalli complex inscription is that the garden which situated to the south of the temple was used to decorate [[sarangapani perumal]] in [[kumbakonam]]. It also specifies that 28,800 [[square feet|sq ft]] of land were given to "Ara alagar" (Sri Soundrarajan Perumal).<br />
<br />
The Alvar complex stone inscription tells of a Diya donation for the temple.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Sukanthavanathi arultharum Soundrarajan|journal=Sivaoli|volume=2|issue=2|page=4}}</ref><br />
