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.

the aithegam goes, with the help
of a gold cow offered by Sri Rama to a Brahmin as advised by Thrudanethra
Munigal. The temple is therefore called âSemponsaikoilâ (17) Thiruvaikunda

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)

flat sharp edge like a leaf at the top), which he adorns here.
