| The earliest references to Manimangalam in the outskirts of Tambaram are in relation to a battle fought between the [[Western Chalukya]] ruler [[Pulakesin II]] and the [[Pallava]] king [[Narasimhavarman I]]. The [[Rajagopala Perumal Temple]] is one of three Vishnu temples in the town and was constructed by the [[Medieval Cholas]]. The earliest inscriptions mentioning the temple are by [[Rajendra Chola I]] and have been dated to 1056 CE. Rajendra Chola I refers to the temple as ''Kamakoti-Vinnagar'' and ''Thiruvaykulam''.<ref>{{cite book|title=Temples of Krṣṇa in South India: History, Art, and Traditions in Tamilnāḍu|page=87|first=T.|last=Padmaja|year=2002|publisher=Abhinav Publications|isbn=9788170173984}}</ref>
