TIRUNAVAYA (Tirunaavai)
 
This Divya shetram is located on the banks of Bharathapuzha River near Trichur in Kerala. The presiding deity is Nava Mukundan also called Narayanan. The Thayar is Malarmangai Nachiyar. The Theertham is Sengamala Saras and the Vimanam Veda Vimanam. The moolavar Vigraham is portrayed from above the knee, as the rest is supposed to be concealed within the ground. There is a separate sannadhi for Thayar ? only one of its kinds in Malainadu shetrams.
 
The legend has it that nine yogis offered worship at this shetram and attained salvation. It is believed that both Lakshmi and Gajendra worshipped Lord Vishnu with lotus flowers. As the flowers started depleting Gajendra prayed to Lord who took Lakshmi by His side and accepted the flowers offered by Gajendra.
Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam:
Tirumangai Azhwar ? 1520, 1856
Nammaazhwar ? 3750 ?3760 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayira Divya prabhandam). This shetram is considered as holy as Kasi and shraddhas are being performed on the banks of the Bharatapuzha River.
