TIRUKKOODALOOR (Aaduthuraipperumaal koil)
 
This Divya shetram is located at a distance of 12 Kms from Tiruvaiyaru enroute to Kumbakonam, from Tanjavur by road.
 
The moolavar is called Vaiyamkaatha Perumaal or Jagatrakshakan in a standing posture. The Thayar is Padmasani also called Pushpavalli. The Theertham is Chakra Theertham and the Vimanam is Sutha satva Vimanam.
 
Legend goes that the Devas together with Nandaka Muni gathered at this shetram to worship Lord Vishnu and hence gained the name Koodaloor ? meaning meeting place.
Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam:
Tirumangai Azhwar ? 1358 ? 67 (pasuram number as in Naalaayira Divya prabhandam)
 
The original vigrahams in the temple were said to haven been washed away in the floods of kollidam river. Rani Mangammal recovered the idols, installed and renovated the temple.
Images of Rani Mangammal and her ministers are found carved on the pillars of the mandapam in the temple.   The annual brahmotsavam is during the Tamil month of Vaikasi.
