Lord Raja Ganapathy greets and graces the devotees sooner they enter the temple. The Festival Hall – Utsav Mandap is huge in size to facilitate conducting cultural programmes and lectures.

While entering the Mahamandap-Ashtalakshmi Mandap, we are graced by Chakarathazhwar and Yoga Narasimha. Perumal graces in a standing form in the sanctum sanctorum as in Tirupati facing east, giving the feeling that the devotee is in Tirupati. He graces in the Arthmandapa with His consorts Sridevi and Bhoodevi. The ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu is aesthetically sculpted in the temple. Mother Padmavathi graces from a separate shrine in the Kannimoola direction.

Sri Vadapalani Murugan, Sri Krupanandavariar, Sri Rajagopalan, Thanigai Murugan with Valli and Deivanai grace from separate shrines. Sri Andal graces from northwest corner. In the outer prakara-corridor of Sri Srinivasaperumal, Ganapathi and Dakshinamurthy grace facing south. Behind are Guruvayurappan, Vishnu Durga facing north, Anjaneya facing north east and Garudalwar in Mahamandap worshipping Perumal.

Sri Adinarayana, in Perumal embracing Lord Shiva (Sivan Anaindha Perumal) temple grace from the sanctum sanctorum in a standing form giving us the feeling as if He speaks to us. On His right are Peria Palavesam, Chinna Palavesam in separate shrines.

  Temple History:
     
 

History: The place assumed the name Punnayadi as it was a dense forest with Punnai trees used for grazing cattle. According to scriptures, Perumal-Lord Vishnu is closely associated with Punnai trees. The holy tree of Srirangam temple also is the Punnai tree. Perumal graces His darshan sitting on the Punnai Vahan on the 9th day of Brahmmotsav in all Vishnu temples. This emphasizes the significance of Punnai tree. People enjoy the full blessings of the Lord on Punnai Vahana.

The temple is built with the blessings of Sri Tirumuruga Krupananda Variar, a great spiritual leader of our times without any Saivite and Vaishnavite discrimination. The Adinarayana temple is very ancient on the banks of River Tambiraparani in a serene environment.
