Divyadesa Visit â Thirunangur and others around Kumbakonam/Tanjavoor/Sirgazhi

On a two days trip by car:

 

   Adiyen had the bagyam of visiting the Thirunangur Divyadesams(11) and a few other Divyadesams around Tanjavoor-Kumbakonam-Sirgazhi-Mayavaram route.  A description of the Divyadesams visited and the photographs taken are presented  to baghavadas for information and to share the anubhavam.

     These 25 places were visited in Two days by car. The day one started at 5-30 a.m. from Srirangam.  We had rest for a couple of hours at Kumbakonam for lunch. End of day one,

 we had night halt at a Kalyanamandapam surrounded by fields and  garden, abound with trees and shrubs of all varieties , at Annanperumal Koil, Sirgazhi.  Day two we managed with the food and tiffin served by the Kalyanamandapam owner at Annanperumalkoil and so the trip was continuous. They have provided a guide also for the Thirunangur portion of the trip. We returned to Srirangam  at about 9-30 p.m. day two.

 Day Two:

      (11) Thirumanimada Koil: (Thirunangur) : This Divyadesam  is famous for the eleven Garuda Seva on Thai Amavasa along with Thayar  Kumudavalli Nachiyar , Perumal will visit the 11 Thirunangur Divyadesams and reach Thirunangur Thirumanimada Koil Sri Narayana Perumal Sannadhi and participate in the eleven Garada Seva of the Thirunangur Divyadesa Perumalgal.

The temple is therefore called âSemponsaikoilâ (17) Thiruvaikunda Vinnagaram (Thirunangur) (18) Thiruarimeya Vinnagaram (Thirunangur) (19 Thiruparthanpalli (Thirunangur) (20) Thiruvali  (21) Thirunagari: This is the birth place of Sri Thirumangai Azhwar.  Out of the 5 Narasimha Murthis he was worshiping, two are in the Sannadhi. Sri Thirumangai Azhwar appears in the form of a Veduvan  with bow and arrow.  The aithegam is that in the nearby place called Devarajapuram, Sri Thirumangai Azhwar intercept Perumal and rob His belongings.  Then Perumal gave Thirumandira Upadesam to the Azhwar by appearing as young couple and took him to His fold.  Vayalai Manavavala Perumal as rendered in Divyaprabandam, stays in Thirunagari instead of Thiruvali.  Hence  these two(20) & (21) are considered as one Divyadesam.  (22) Thiruvellakulam (Annan Koil) (Thirunangur) (Then Thirupathi): Kumudavalli Nachiyar, was found as a baby on a Kumuda pushpam found by a Brahmin. She grew here under the good care of the Brahmin until her marriage with Sri Thirumangai Azhwar.  She is also worshiped along with Thirumangai Azhwar  here in a separate Sannadhi (23) Thiruthalaisanga Nanmadiyam (Thalachangadu) (24) Thiruthevanar Thogai(Kizhchalai) (Thiruangur) (25) Thirukazhi Srirama Vinnagaram - Thiruvikraman Perumal: Perumal lifts His left sacred feet to measure the universe. As per history Sri Thirumangai Azhwar won arguments with the Saiva saint Sri Thirugnana Sambandar and got his âVetri Velâ (a long weapon with a flat sharp edge like a leaf at the top), which he adorns here.
