The Temple was built by the late Cholas in the 8th century on the banks of a small distributory River known then as River Virudha Kaveri. Sri Soundararaja Perumal Temple is located in a congested residential locality in Nagapattinam Town. The Temple has a East facing seven tiered Rajagopuram. At the outset the Temple has a four pillared Mandapam jus before the Rajagopuram and they have constructed a tinned roofing all around this place to save the Devotees from the vageries of Nature. On top of the four pillared Mandapam is a Sangu and a Chakkaram and a Thengalai Thirumann Sri Churnam along with the Idols of Garudalwar and Anjaneyar. There is a small name board displaying the name of the Temple. Beyond the Rajagopuram is a lovely Pushkarani with Ducks, Geese etc. On the other side there is a Temple Ghoshala. The multi pillared Mandapam around this area is nicely decorated and even the ceiling has been painted very well with various colours. There is a Dwajasthambam, a Bali Peedam and a Garudalwar Sub Shrine facing the Moolasthanam. Close to this is the Sub Shrine for Sri Varadaraja Perumal and another Sub Shrine for Alwars and Archaryans. There is a Sub Shrine for Vaikundanathar and just before entering this place a Thirumann, Sri Churnam, a Sangu Chakkaram and two Garudalwar Image are kept. The Vaikundanathar Shrine is North facing. In the Moolasthanam Sri Soundararaja Perumal is seen majestically East facing and flanked by His Consorts Sri Devi and Bhoo Devi, The Urchavamoorthy is also known by the name Soundararaja Perumal and there is a miniatrue Santhana Gopala Krishnan Idol too. There is a Bali Peedam and a Dwajasthambam facing the Thaayar Sannadhi. At the threshold of Her doorsteps is a pair of colourful Dwara Baalkis and the doorway leading to Her Sannadhi too is gold plated and simply dazzling. The name of the Thaayar is Sri Soundaravalli and She is East facing in Her multi pillared Shrine. The walls of the Thaayar Sannadhi have beautiful framed Images of Ashtalakshmi and this Sannadhi simply captivates any Devotees coming here. In the outer peripheral there is an exclusive Sub Shrine for Sri Srinivasa Perumal. The Aandal Sannadhi is also unique since there is a Dwajasthambam facing Her Sub Shrine. The Temple has a beautifully designed three tiered South facing Gopuram with a Sorga Vaasal or Paramampadha Vaasal which is thrown open to the Devotees on Vaikunda Ekadesi days. Likewise there is an exclusive Sannadhi for Sri Ramar and the Divine Feet of Sri Ramar has been displayed for the sake of the Devotees. Close to it is the Sannadhi for Veera Anjaneyar. There are Sub Shrines for Senai Mudhalvar and Sri Soundararaja Perumal Kidantha Thirukolam. Though the construction for the Temple was started during the Chola period, the Pallavas, the Thanjavur Naayaks and the Thanjavur Marathas had a big hand in supporting this Temple and bringing this level. The Mango Tree is considered as a Sthala Viruksham here whereas the Pushkarani is known as Saara Pushkarani. Chittirai  Brahmmothsavam, Nammazhwar Utsavam, Navarathri, Vaikunta Ekadasi, Vijayadasami Uthirayana Punyakalam,  Panguni Peruvizha are some of the festivals are celebrated in a grand manner.
