Pandava Thoothar Perumal Temple, also known as Thirupadagam,
is a unique shrine dedicated to Bhagavan Sri Krishna in Kanchipuram, Tamil
Nadu. A 25 feet murti (idol) of Lord Krishna is found in the sanctum sanctorum
of the temple. The shrine is located opposite to the famous Ekambareswarar
Temple in Kanchipuram.
The 25 feet murti of Bhagavan Sri Krishna faces east and it
is in this form that he appeared before Janamejaya.
Sri Krishna is known as Pandava Tootha because he went to
the court of Hastinapura as messenger of peace. However, Duryodhana insulted
him and attempted to capture him. This led to Bhagavan Sri Krishna displaying
his Virat Roopa or cosmic form.
