The temple is associated with the planet Jupiter, called Guru. But what makes Alwarthirunagari truly extraordinary above all other Nava Tirupati temples is that it is the sacred birthplace of Nammalvar the greatest of the twelve Alvar saints, whose divine hymns form the foundation of the entire Nalayira Divya Prabandham. For pilgrims completing this circuit, Ananta Vihara in Thirukolur just 4 km away is the most peaceful and perfectly placed homestay for your Nava Tirupati Yatra.

The Rajagopuram the temple’s gateway tower is 95 ft (29 m) tall. The temple houses remarkable paintings depicting scenes from the Ramayana and 48 composite pillars with exquisite sculptures. The Sacred Tamarind Tree — Nammalvar’s Birthplace According to traditional scriptures, Nammalvar was born in 3059 BCE in a Vellalar family at Thirukurukur the ancient name of modern Alwarthirunagari. As a child he responded to no external stimuli, and his parents left him at the feet of the deity Sri Adhinathar in Alwarthirunagari. The child then got up, climbed into a hole in a tamarind tree, sat in the lotus position, and began to meditate for as long as sixteen years. A Tamil poet and scholar named Madhurakavi Alwar, in Madurai, saw a bright light shining in the south and followed it until he reached the tree where the boy resided. Unable to elicit any reaction from the child, he asked a riddle: “If the small is born in a dead’s body, what will it eat and where will it stay?” meaning, if the subtle soul is embodied in the gross body, what are its actions and thoughts? The child’s answer stunned Madhurakavi Alwar, and he immediately became the devoted disciple of the divine child. Nammalvar’s contributions to the spread of Vaishnavism and Tamil literature are considered phenomenal he was instrumental in reviving devotion among the people at a time when Buddhism and Jainism were dominant in Tamil Nadu. There is a tamarind tree on the precincts of the temple, believed to be the actual birthplace of Nammalvar. Devotees take strips of the tree bark for medicinal purposes, and the spot is treated as supremely sacred by all Vaishnava pilgrims. The Legend of the Sacred Name — Thirukurukur This place is known as Thirukurukur for three reasons: First, Lord Brahma received Mantropadesam (teaching of mantras) from Lord Vishnu here in appreciation of his tapasya since the Lord became Guru (teacher) here, the place was called Kurukoor. Second, Nammalvar’s ancestor, a chieftain named Kurukan, had this place as his capital. Third, the Tamil word kuruku means stork, conch, and hen a conch attained Moksha here, adding to the sacredness of the name. This sacred place is also known as Dhantha Kshetram, Varaha Kshetram, Thirtha Kshetram, and Sesha Kshetram each name rooted in a unique legend connected to this holy land. The Legend of Lakshmana & the Tamarind Tree According to the Sthala Puranam, three days before the conclusion of Ramavatara, Lord Yama came to meet Lord Rama. Lakshmana, who was guarding the gate, allowed Sage Durvasa to enter against Rama’s orders. The displeased Rama cursed his brother to become a tree, but later said he himself had to be like a statue for 16 years as penance for sending Sita to the forest and would sit in the hole of a tree at that time. Lakshmana would become a tamarind tree at this sacred Varaha Kshetram. Lord Rama gave his ring to his brother, saying Lakshmana would become a tamarind tree where the ring dropped. Lakshmana, the incarnation of Adisesha, is thus believed to stand as the tamarind tree in this holy temple. Nammalvar — Vishnu’s Own Incarnation Lord Vishnu is believed to have incarnated as Nammalvar himself just as Vishnu had incarnated in all three varnas (castes), he chose to incarnate in the fourth through Nammalvar, completing his divine presence across all of humanity. Nammalvar’s shrine in this temple is considered more prominent than even the main deity’s shrine and because of him, the city came to be known as Alwarthirunagari the sacred city of the Alvar saint. Navagraha Significance Guru (Jupiter) Sthalam This temple is associated with planet Jupiter, known as Guru in Tamil. Special poojas are conducted to Guru to appease the planetary deity and earn his divine favours. People looking for financial advancement, growth in career and education, and suitable life partners can worship here and receive blessings.

Architecture Constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture, the 95-ft Rajagopuram dominates the skyline of Alwarthirunagari.

Nava Tirupathi Temples April 30, 2026 Vaithamanidhi Perumal Temple Vaithamanidhi Perumal Temple, located in the village of Thirukolur in Thoothukudi district, is the eighth temple of the sacred Nava Tirupati circuit dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It is one of the 108 Divya Desams glorified in the Nalayira Divya Prabandham by the Alvar saints, and is associated with the planet Angaraka (Mars) and also known as Kuberasthalam.

Pilgrims staying with us can attend early morning prayers, evening aarthi, and all festivals without any travel truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience for devoted pilgrims. The presiding deity Vaithamanidhi Perumal is in a reclining posture on Adisesha facing East, resting his head on a Marakkal a wooden measuring vessel meant for measuring wealth. He is looking at the palm of his left hand as if watching over the location of wealth. He is said to hold the Nava Nidhis the nine forms of divine wealth under his right shoulder. The festival deity (Urchava Murthy) is hailed as Nishepavithan, who stands in a four-armed posture with Sridevi and Bhudevi. On the Lord’s right is the shrine dedicated to Kolurvalli Thayar (Sridevi) and to his left is Kumudha Valli Thayar (Bhudevi). A granite wall surrounds the temple, enclosing all its shrines. The Rajagopuram, the temple’s gateway tower, is three-tiered in structure. The Vimana above the sanctum is called the Srikara Vimana. The temple’s history traces back to the Chola period, with the oldest inscriptions dating to the reign of Raja Raja I (late 10th–early 11th century CE). The original structure was later refurbished by Rani Mangammal (1689–1704 CE). The Meaning — Why “Vaithamanidhi”? The name Vaithamanidhi means “Possessor of Treasures” the Lord who safeguarded Kubera’s nine forms of wealth when he was cursed. It is believed that people who pray here are blessed with great wealth and recovery of lost fortunes. The Legend — Kubera & the Nine Forms of Wealth Kubera, the lord of wealth, once cast a lustful glance at Goddess Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva. An enraged Shiva cursed Kubera to lose the sight in one eye, lose his nine forms of wealth, and roam in a terrible form. The nine forms of wealth of Kubera immediately sought refuge at the feet of Lord Vishnu in Thirukolur on the banks of the Thamirabarani River. Repenting for his sin, Kubera sought the aid of Lord Shiva, who directed him to Goddess Parvati. Parvati then instructed Kubera to go to Thirukolur and perform penance to Lord Vishnu, where his nine forms of wealth had already sought refuge. Kubera performed severe austerities in Thirukolur. Lord Vishnu, pleased with Kubera’s penance, appeared before him and bestowed redemption from the curse, granting a part of the wealth that he had lost. Lord Vishnu in Thirukolur thus came to be hailed as Vaithamanidhi Perumal for safeguarding Kubera’s nine forms of wealth. The Legend of Dharmagupta — Wealth Through Devotion Dharmagupta, a person with eight children who was in utter poverty, sought the refuge of his Guru Bhartbaja, who revealed that in his previous life he had lied to the king regarding his fortune and had not used his wealth righteously. The Guru directed him to go to Thirukolur and worship Vaithamanidhi Perumal. Following his Guru’s instructions, Dharmagupta worshipped here and received the grace of the Lord, who absolved him of his sins and blessed him with wealth putting an end to his poverty forever. Birthplace of Madhurakavi Alvar Thirukolur is the birthplace of Madhurakavi Alvar one of the twelve celebrated poet saints of Vaishnavism. Madhurakavi Alvar was an ardent devotee of Nammalvar and his sacred songs are eternally linked to this holy place. The temple has a special shrine dedicated to Madhurakavi Alvar within its precincts making Thirukolur a town of immense Vaishnava heritage. Navagraha Significance — Sevvai (Mars) Sthalam The temple is associated with the planet Angaraka (Mars / Sevvai) and is known as a Sevvai Dosha Parihara Sthalam a sacred place for relief from the adverse effects of Mars. Chandra, the Moon God, is also believed to have been relieved of his curse by praying at this temple.

Stay Near Sri Makara Nedunkuzhaikathar Perumal Temple, Thenthiruperai | Nava Tirupati Shukra (Venus) Sthalam
BLOGS Stay Near Sri Makara Nedunkuzhaikathar Perumal Temple, Thenthiruperai | Nava Tirupati — Shukra (Venus) Sthalam Nava Tirupathi Temples April 30, 2026 Sri Makara Nedunkuzhaikathar Perumal Temple Sri Makara Nedunkuzhaikathar Perumal Temple in Thenthiruperai is one of the Nava Tirupati temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu, located along the Tiruchendur Tirunelveli route in Thoothukudi district on the banks of the Thamiraparani River. It is one of the 108 Divya Desams extolled in the Nalayira Divya Prabandham by the Alvar saints. This temple is associated with Parasurama Avatara and the planet Shukra (Venus). The presiding deity here is Lord Vishnu wearing beautiful fish-shaped earrings (Makara Kundala) a rare and deeply meaningful divine form found nowhere else in the Divya Desam circuit. For pilgrims on the full Nava Tirupati Yatra, Ananta Vihara in Thirukolur is the most peaceful and convenient homestay base. The Moolavar of this temple is Sri Makara Nedunkuzhaikathar Perumal, also named Nigaril Mugil Vannan. He gives his seva in Veetrirundha (seated) posture facing East, granting darshan to Shukran, Lord Rudra, and Lord Brahma. The Thayars here are two — Kuzhaikadhu Valli and Thiruperai Nachiyar each with their own separate sannadhis. The sanctum sanctorum houses Lord Makara Nedunkuzhaikathar seated in Veera Asana posture facing East, with his left leg folded, along with his consorts Sridevi and Bhudevi.

The Dwajastambam and Bali Petam are outside the main hall, while the Garuda shrine is to the left of the sanctum. The rajagopuram, the temple’s gateway tower, is flat in structure. The temple follows the Thenkalai tradition of worship. The Meaning Behind the Name Makara in Tamil means fish. The Lord who wore the fish-shaped earrings came to be known as Makara Nedunkuzhaikathar the one who adorns long fish-shaped earrings. And Bhudevi, who offered the earrings, became Sri Perai or Thiruperai Nachiyar. Since then, this sacred place is also known as Thiruperai. The Legend — Bhudevi’s Penance & the Sacred Earrings Lakshmi, feeling that Lord Vishnu spent more time with Bhudevi, expressed her wish to Sage Durvasa to gain the same beauty. When the sage came to meet Bhudevi, she did not receive him with proper respect. The sage cursed Bhudevi, who lost all her charm. Bhudevi undertook severe penance on the banks of the Thamiraparani River to regain her form and the love of the Lord. There she found two beautiful earrings in the shape of fish and offered them respectfully to Vishnu on a Panguni Pournami day the Full Moon in March–April. The Lord, pleased with her penance and offering, accepted the earrings, adorned himself with them, and relieved her of her curse. The Legend of Varuna Relief from Guru’s Curse Varuna, the God of Rains, performed penance on Perumal here to cleanse himself of his disrespectful behaviour against Jupiter (Guru) and performed Tirumanjanam to the Lord. The place then received rains, according to the Sthala Puranas. The Legend of Bhadra The Poet Devotee Bhadra, the son of planet Shukra (Venus), who was cursed by Sage Durvasa, offered his worship by building a Vimanam for the Lord which came to be known as the Bhadra Vimanam. The Lord, pleased with his devotion, appeared before him with his consorts and relieved him of his curse.

BLOGS Stay Near Sri Mayakoothar Perumal Temple, Perungulam | Nava Tirupati 7th Temple — Shani Sthalam Nava Tirupathi Temples April 28, 2026 Sri Mayakoothar Perumal Temple Sri Mayakoothar Perumal Temple, also known as Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple, is one of the Nava Tirupati temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu, located in Perungulam along the Tiruchendur Tirunelveli route on the southern bank of the Thamiraparani River. It is one of the 108 Divya Desams revered by the 12 Alvar saints and is referred to as the Shani Sthalam the sacred location for the planet deity Saturn. This is the 7th temple in the Nava Tirupati circuit a deeply powerful shrine where Lord Vishnu is worshipped as Mayakoothar, the divine dancer who triumphed over evil. The specialized day of worship here is Saturday, making it a particularly important temple for those seeking relief from Saturn’s astrological effects. For pilgrims completing the full Nava Tirupati Yatra, Ananta Vihara in Thirukolur centrally located within the circuit is the ideal homestay base. The presiding deity of the temple is Venkatavaanan appearing in a standing posture resembling Lord Venkateswara of Tirupati, and hence also acknowledged as Srinivasa Perumal. The festival deity is hailed as Mayakoothar. The Thayars here are Alamelu Mangai and Kulandaivalli Thayar. The presiding deity is sported in a sitting posture with Sridevi and Bhudevi on either side. The images of Bhoodevi and Sridevi along with festival images are located inside the sanctum. Since Garuda helped Vishnu in the war, he is always sported carrying both Vishnu and Lakshmi. A particularly unique feature of this temple is the presence of a shrine for the Navagrahas — which is not common in Lord Vishnu temples. Constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture, all the shrines of the temple are located within rectangular granite walls, pierced by a three-tiered gopuram. The temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the Government of Tamil Nadu. The Legend How He Got the Name Mayakoothar A demon named Asumasara, with the wish of marrying a thousand women, captured Kumudhavalli and hid her in the Himalayas. While the demon was away on his mission, Lord Vishnu heard the prayers of the devoted Brahmin Vedhasaran and freed Kumudhavalli and the others. When the demon returned and came to know of this, he waged war with the Lord. Lord Vishnu assumed his Vishwaroopa, caught the demon by his legs, thrashed him to the ground, and danced on his head. Since the Lord danced on the demon, he came to be hailed as Mayakoothar — the divine dancer in Thirukulanthai (Perungulam). The Legend of Kamalavathi A Devotee’s Ultimate Wish Another legend tells of a childless couple who did penance here. Lord Vishnu blessed them with a daughter named Kamalavathi, who became an ardent devotee of Vishnu from a young age. Her only prayer was that Lord Vishnu should marry her. Impressed by her devotion and penance, Lord Vishnu appeared before her and accepted her onto his chest as a boon. Even today Kamalavathi can be seen on his bosom in the temple. The Legend of Garuda’s Ego When Lord Vishnu began his mission to rescue Kumudhavalli, he signalled Garuda to get ready. Garuda harboured the thought that the Lord was dependent on him. To subdue Garuda’s ego, the Lord carried Garuda on his own back and proceeded to the Himalayas. Garuda, ashamed of himself, surrendered at the Lord’s feet. Hence Thirukulanthai (Perungulam) is the place where Garuda’s ego was quelled making it a sacred site not just for devotees of Vishnu, but for all who seek humility and surrender. Navagraha Significance Shani Sthalam The Perungulam Temple is associated with Koorma Avatara (Tortoise incarnation of Vishnu) and the planet Shani (Saturn). Devotees visit on Shani Peyarchi day in large numbers to offer special prayers.

Sri Aravindalochanar gives darshan as Amarntha Perumal in a seated posture with Adisheshan, measuring 6 feet in size. This temple stands out for what it doesn’t have a towering rajagopuram. Instead, the focus shifts inward, where Aravindalochanar sits serenely beneath the Kumudha Vimanam, a lotus-shaped tower symbolically associated with sacred traditions The Legend How Aravindalochanar Got His Name Rishi Suprabar, after completing a great yagna, went to the pond on the north side to gather lotus flowers. Seeing the beauty of the flowers, Aravindalochanar came out of the temple, following the sage. When Rishi Suprabar asked why Perumal was following him, Perumal said he wished to know where the flowers came from and requested Suprabar to perform puja for him at this place. Suprabar then installed Aravindalochanar and performed poojas here. In another legend, the Ashwin twins wanted a share of the offerings made by men. They prayed to Brahma, who redirected them to pray at this place. The twins came, performed penance, and had a dip in the sacred tank which came to be known as Ashvini Tirtha. Vishnu appeared to them bearing lotus flowers in hand and granted them their wishes. According to another legend, a man and a woman who had been cursed by Kubera to take the forms of a measuring scale (Tulai) and a bow (Villi) were freed from their curse by Sage Atreya Suprabha here thus giving this sacred place the name Tulaivillimangalam, which over the years became Thirutholaivillimangalam.
