The Varadaraja Perumal Temple in Kanchipuram, also known as Perumal Koli, is extremely sacramental to the practise of Vaishnavism.

A flight of 24 stairs leads up to the primary shrine for Lord Vishnu, which is perched atop the 10-meter-high Hastagiri mountain. On the ceiling, there are murals depicting the former Vijayanagara Empire. On the hillock lies a shrine to Narasimha as well as the enigmatic Narasimha mask, the origins of which are still a mystery.
