Sthalapuraanam says that: Brahma had five heads earlier. Siva also
has five heads. While Parvathi was worshipping, by mistake, she worshipped
Brahma instead of Siva. Siva got angry and plucked Brahma's one head - thus
getting Brahma hatyaa dosham. So Siva took biksha from Mahalakshmi and did
penance in this place. Perumal gave darshan and removed the dosham and stayed
there as requested by Siva and other Maharishi's. Hence this Perumal is known
as ‘Hara sapa mochana swamy’(హర శాప విమోచన స్వామి. )The same story is told in the case of
THIRU Karambanoor also.So this is called as Trimoorthi Kshetram. Every year in
Panguni month(apr-may) for ten days brahmostavams are held. Pavitrostavaams in

Moolavar resembles Lord Venkateswara of Tirumala. It is believed that he is
elder brother of Tirumala Srinivasan. Markandeya while doing penance here found
a female child and brought her up as his daughter. Her name is Bhumadevi. On an
Ekadasi day in the dark fortnight of panguni (Meena) masam Perumal came in the
disguise of an old brahmana and asked for food. Rishi served him food. After
food Perumal asked him to give away his daughter in marriage as Perumal wants
to set up family and have children. Rishi couldn’t say yes seeing the age of
the brahmana. Simultaneously he was in dilemma how to say no to a brahmana.
He said that his daughter don’t know how to cook food and she doesn’t
even know to add salt in the food. Perumal accepted even for that. Then
Markandeya found no way to say no tony hat brahmana. Then he prayed to Perumal
to save him from this tricky situation. Then Perumal appeared in front of him and
granted him moksham. Rishi requested Perumal to be present here in the form he
gave darshan and bless the devotees. Here Perumal is known as uppilliapan
meaning the one who partakes food without salt. Azhwars praises him as
oppilliappan meaning uncomparable. So, from that time Swami is offered salt
less prasaadam. This place is 1 km from Thirunageswaram. From here devotees can
go to Thiruchcherai Naachiyaar KOIL for worship.
Vaikhanasa Agama is followed here. In all processions, the UTSAVAR is
accompanied by Goddess - THAAYAAR, Bhoomidevi and Swamidesikan just ahead of
the Divya Prabandha Goshti on all festivals. Srirama, Sita and Lakshmana
give darsan in a separate sannidhi. A shrine devoted to Sri Vedanta Desika is
situated near the garbhagruha and enjoys an important position. In the Alwar
sannidhi, there are vigrahams of all Alwars. Three Alwars have sung in all 47
paasurams. Two Brahmostavams are conducted annually. Sravana Deepam is taken
around praakaara on every Sravna Nakshatra day. A number of kalyaana mandapams
exist here.

LOCATION: About 9 to 10 kms from Kumbakonam on
bus route to Thiruvaaroor. All facilities are available here.
MOOLAVAR: Naraiyoor Ninra Nambi - Srinivasan - Para Vasudevan in
standing posture facing east with only two hands - KalyaNa Tirukkolam.
THAAYAAR: Vanjulavalli
THAAYAAR, Nambikkai
Naachiyaar standing posture along with moolavar - kalyana tirukkolam.
VIMAANAM: Srinivasa
vimanam.
Hema vimaanam.
There are more than ten gopurams - big and small.
THEERTHAMS:
Manimukta, Sankarshana, Pradyumna, Anirudha, and Samba theerthams.
VRIKSHAM: Vilva and Peepul trees.
PRATYAKSHAM:
Madhavimuni, Brahma, Vayu, Surya and Chola King Kochengannan. A special
feature of this temple is that we can have darshan of all the presiding deities
of 108 divyadesams. Garbhagruha is on an elevated place, known as
Sugandhagiri/Manimadakoil. We can have darsan of Moolavar from the entrance of
the gopuram. This is a three-tiered structure. Here perumal came to marry
vanjulavalli alias Lakshmi foster daughter of medhavi mini in five vyuha forms.
Garuda presides him and traced out the existence of tayar at this place and
brought Perumal here and arranged for the marriage. Therefore Garuda is given a
special importance at this place as varaprasadi. - a peculiar feature. The idol
of Pakshiraja(Garuda) here is regarded as a diety and worshipped daily.
Garudavaahanam is located in a separate shrine, a little down from Garbhagruha.
Garudavaahanam is made of salagrama single stone nearly 8 ft high and 5
×5 at the base. Amudakalasam is offered as naivedyam( a round shaped sweet).
Perumal is taken in procession twice a year. The peculiar inexplicable factor
is that when Garudavaahana is taken out of sannidhi into mandapam, 4
persons can lift, but later on as Garuda moves out with Lord mounted on him, 64
persons are required to lift him. Thaayaar gets precedence over Perumal in all
respects as per the boon given by Perumal to medhavi Rishi. During Kal Garuda
sevai procession also, THAAYAAR on Hamsa vaahanam preceeds Perumal in Garuda
vaahanam. So this place is better known as Naachiyaar koyil( Pen Arasu Nadu);
this is one among get 12 swayam vyakta sthalams. When Thirumangai Mannan prayed
to make him a vaishnavite, Perumal agreed to become his guru/achaarya. Alwar
refers to him as Nambi. Perumal himself performed the Samasrayanam to him and
gave Mantropadesam. Thirumangai Alwar has sung 111 paasurams.

Vaishnavites and Saivites. It is also known as Thillainagar Thiruchitrakoodam
for Vaishnavites and as Pudareekapuram for Saivites. The shrine of Sri
Govindarajan faces east and is close to the Chit Sabha of Nataraja in Nataraja
temple which faces south. Another peculiar feature is that nowhere else do we
find an ancient Vishnu Divyadesam that too Alwar mangalaasaasna Divya Kshetram
complete with separate Gopuram, balipeetam, dwajasthanbham, madapalli and
Garuda shrine facing the Perumal and a Thaayaar shrine with a separate

ALWAR PAADALGAL: Kulasekhara Alwar - 11;
Tbirumangai Alwar - 21; total 32 paasurams . Avataara sthala birth place of
Nathamunigal at Kattumannaar KOIL is nearby. He got upadesam of the paasurams
of Thiruvaymoli and other Alwar paasurams in his yogadasa from Nammaalwar
himself. He taught them to his sishyas and got them propagated all over the
Tamil area.
Perumal here came
as judge in the dance competition between Shiva and Parvati. Shiva was becoming
dull and Parvati performing better Day by day. On seventh day shiva looked at
Perumal for help. Perumal lifted his left knee hinting shiva which shiva
grabbed and lifted his left leg and performed urdhva nrutyam parvati
being female felt shy to do so and got defeated. According to competition rule
Parvati left tillai and stayed outside as tillai kali.
After that she took
another form as sivakamasundari and married him again.
This temple was
destroyed by Krimi Kantha chola and reconstructed later. The original
utsavamurthis if this temple are being worshipped at Tirupati Sri Govindaraja
swamy Temple which was consecrated by swamy ramanuja.

noticed that somebody was making noise ; he opened his eyes to see a small boy
was eating the butter. He chased the boy for some distance and tied him to a
tree; thereafter he realised with he tapas sakthi that Srimaha Vishnu himself
has come as a small boy (Kannan) and HE gave darshan to Vasista Maharshi
who prayed Him to reside there itself. Lord agreed and stayed as
