Sri Renganathar Temple (Kajang, Malaysia)

Situated in an obscure town in Malaysia, perhaps, this is the only temple in the Asia-Pacific region that follows the pancaratra agama tradition of Sri Vaisnavism.

Kajang is not really obscure as it is just on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur.

I dont understand what is pancaratra but there are dozens of perumal temples all over malaysia. but majority of them are thenkalai.

Klang has sundararaja perumal temple - popularly known as south east asia tirupathi. At almost 120 years, its one of the oldest temples here. In 2006, the temple was awarded ISO 9001:2000 certification for its quality sustained contribution in religious, cultural and social service to Hindus. This is probably the first Hindu shrine in the world to receive an international quality service acknowledgement. http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/oppi.../msg00156.html

Even around where I live there are several perumal temples - Subang Jaya's official temple is sri varadharaja perumal temple.

Puchong nearby has two perumal temples, the large and popular one being sri srinivasa perumal temple.
