About Sriperumbudur
Sriperumbudur (AC 29, SC reserved) is the temple-town turned industrial spine of Kancheepuram district, 40 km west of Chennai on the Bangalore highway. The Adi Kesava Perumal temple here is venerated as the birthplace of Ramanuja (1017 CE), the founding acharya of Vishishtadvaita Vedanta.
The town also holds a sombre place in Indian political memory as the site of Rajiv Gandhi's assassination in May 1991, marked today by a memorial. Around the temple, the Sriperumbudur–Oragadam–Irungattukottai belt has become Tamil Nadu's auto and electronics capital, with Hyundai's plant since 1998, plus Foxconn, Nokia, Samsung and Daimler lines.
Sriperumbudur & the Auto-Electronics Corridor
Sriperumbudur threads the spiritual and industrial: the Adi Kesava Perumal temple where Ramanuja was born in 1017, the Rajiv Gandhi memorial set in landscaped grounds, and the Hyundai-Foxconn-Samsung lines spread across Oragadam-Irungattukottai. Drive 25 km further to Kancheepuram for silk-weaver streets and the Ekambareswarar temple gopuram.
