Located at Thanjavur district in Kumbakonam, Varahaperumal Temple is a revered Hindu temple dedicated to God Vishnu. Situated just behind the Chakrapani temple, the shrine dates back to the Varaha Avatar period and hence is called Varahaperumal. The consort of Lord Vishnu is worshipped as Bhoodevi Thayyar and is believed to answer prayers related to land and property problems.
Besides the presiding deities, there are other shrines for Sri Vishwaksenar and Acharya Nikamanda Maha Desika. Varahaperumal Temple is also one of the five Vishnu temples connected with Mahamaham festival. The most important festival celebrated at the temple is Maasi Magam in the Tamil month of Maasi.
