Parthasarathy Temple is a Hindu Temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu located at Parthivapuram near Munchirai in Kanyakumari District of Tamilnadu. This Temple belonged to ninth century AD. Presiding Deity is called as Parthasarathy, the avatar (incarnation) of Lord Vishnu. The temple was built by King Ko Karunandadakkan in AD 864-65. Moreover, Parthivapuram was one of the four educational centers (sala) in these parts, around 1,100 years ago – others being Kanthaloor, Thiruvalla and Moozhikulam Salas. It is a notable distinction of this temple that there is no hundi (for collection of money from devotees) anywhere in the premises. The temple is now a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India.

The temple is open from 05:00 am to 10:00 am and from 05:00 pm to 07:00 pm.
