Aadikesava Perumal Vandalur is an ancient temple with a circular sanctum like the Gajaprasta Vimaanam seen mostly in Shiva Temples. This is a very small temple in a very narrow lane. There are stone inscriptions all around the sanctum base. There is another Perumal temple on the other side of the main road adjacent to the Panchamukha Anjaneya temple.
