- 1) Sri Rangam - Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple
- Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple is one of the most illustrious Vaishnavite temples in the country, dedicated to lord Ranganatha, a reclining form of Hindu deity lord Vishnu. Srirangam is an island located in the middle of the rivers ‘Kaveri’ and ‘Kollidam’ and also a part of Tiruchirappalli district. Srirangam is touted as ‘Boologa Vaikundam’ (Heaven on Earth) by the Hindus because of its rich culture, heritage and history. As the foremost of the 108 Divya Desams dedicated to Vishnu, it is also considered the lord Vishnu’s primary abode on the Earth
- 2) Thirukkozhi - Sri Azhagiya Manavala Perumal Temple
- This temple is located in Uraiyur, it is also called Naachiyar Kovil. The name of the God Vishnu here is Sri Azhagiya Manavala Perumal (Veetrirundha Thirukkolam - Sitting posture) and Goddess Sri Kamalavalli Thayar. The temple has a 5-tiered rajagopuram (gateway tower). The vimana, is called Kamala Vimanam.
- 3) Thirukkarambanoor - Sri Purushothaman Perumal Temple
- This temple is located near to Srirangam. It is also called Uttamar Koil. The name of the God Vishnu here is Sri Purushothaman Perumal (Kidantha Thirukkolam - Sleeping posture) and Goddess Thayar. Uttamar Kovil is unique where we can get the blessings of all MUM-moorthikal (Shiva, Vishu and Brahma).
- 4) Thiruvellarai - Sri Pundarikashan Perumal Temple
- This Temple is located at a distance of 27 Km from Trichy, enroute to Thuraiyur. The name of the God Vishnu here is Sri Pundarikashan Perumal and Goddess Sri Pankajavali Thayar. Since, this sthalam is situated 100 feet high in the top of the small mountain, which is white in colour, this sthalam is called “Thiru Vellarai”.
- 5) Sarangapani(Thiru Kudanthai) Temple
- One can start off with the Aravamudhan Sarangapani temple in the heart of Kumbakonam town. This temple has one of the tallest temple towers for a Divya Desam (150ft) after Srirangam, Thiru Kovilur and Srivilliputhur. Also, after Srirangam(11) and Tirupathi(10), this temple has the maximum number of Azhavaars (7 of them here) singing praise of the Lord. Another highlight of the temple is that it is the home to one of the biggest temple chariots in Tamil Nadu. It is at this temple that the Vaishnavite savant Natha Muni got the inspiration to compile the works of the famed 4000 verses of the Azhvaars, after listening to the Tamil hymn 'Aravamudhe' composed by Nammalwar.
One of the mandapams at the Sarangapani temple is believed to have been built in 7th Century AD by the famous Pallava King Mahendra Varma. This temple was later renovated by the famous Vijayanagara King Krishnadevaraya. - 6) Oppiliappan Temple
About 6 kms from Kumbakonam off the Kaaraikal road near ThiruNageswaram, it is believed that Lord Srinivasa here has similar powers to that of the Lord at Tirupathi and hence those who are unable to go to Tirupathi visit this temple. The Lord here is considered as the brother of Tirupathi Lord Srinivasa. This is the only Divya Desam where prasadams do not contain salt and hence the name ‘Oppiliappan’(Lord without Salt). Legend has it that any one bringing salt within this temple will go to hell. Some of the inscriptions at this temple date back to the period of Rajendra Chola, the great Chola king. - 7) Nachiyar Temple in Thiru Naraiyur
- Located about 10kms from Kumbakonam, the Nachiyar temple at Thiru Naraiyur is our next stop. This temple can be reached easily from Oppiliappan temple. Every year in the month of Margazhi, there is a one of its kind procession where Lord Srinivasa is taken out on a stone Garuda mount. The mount is said to grow exponentially in weight as it is carried out of its sanctum. While 4 people are enough to carry him out of his Sannadhi, the mount increases in weight as it comes out of every layer and by the time the Lord is out on to the last layer of the temple, it requires as many as 64 people to carry him. This is an experience not to be missed at this temple.
This is a temple of special significance for Lord Garuda and he is said to be very powerful here. At this divya desam, Naachiyaar (Goddess) gets the place of primary importance, unlike most other divya desams, where the main deity is the Lord. Another feature is that the idols of all the 108 divya desams can be seen here. - 8) Pulla Boothangkudi- Jataayu Moksham
- From Kumbakonam, off Swami Malai, on the Kumbakonam -Thiruvaikaavur road, is Pulla Boothangkudi. This Divya Desam’s legendary tale dates back to the time of Ramayana. The Eagle King, Jatayu, an old friend of King Dasharatha (father of Raama) had fought a valiant battle trying to rescue Sita from Raavana, before the Lankan king cut off its wings. It is believed that parental curse will go away if one visits this place as Raama, who had not performed the last rites for his father, made up by performing his (Jataayu’s) obsequies, thus giving moksham to the Bird. In the Raamayana, this episode is referred to as the death of the 2nd father.This is the only Divya Desam where Raama is in reclining posture and can be seen with all his ornaments and four hands. Interestingly, Goddess Sita is not seen with the Lord, as this temple relates to the time when Raama is separated from her.
The priest believes that many devotees have got employment after visiting Yoga Narasimhar (a separate sannadhi within the temple), so much so that the devotees have named it the Udyoga Narasimhar. This temple is administered by Ahobila Mutt.
This temple has been beautifully redone and has an air of freshness to it, especially with Gopal Bhattar’s friendly attitude towards devotees and his detailed explanation of the history of the temple. - 9) Loganatha Perumal Temple
is a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu located 2 km away from Sikkal, Tamil Nadu, India on the Tiruvarur-Nagapatnam highway.
As per Hindu legend, sage Gautama is believed to have worshiped the deity here.As per the temple legend, sage Vasishtha is considered the most devout devotee of Krishna, an avatar of Vishnu. Once the sage was worshiping Krishna with an idol made of butter. Krishna appeared in the form of a child, ate the idol and ran away. Vasishtha was chasing the child, who came running to this place. There were many other sages who were performing penance at this place. Krishna gave them a boon that he would be tied by the devotion of the sages and requested them to help Vashishta with his wishes. The sages requested Krishna to remain in this place and provide appearance to his devotees like he did for them. Vashishta and all the sages were pleased with the view of Krishna.
