TIRU INDHALLUR
This Divya shetram is in Mayiladuthurai. The temple is one of the Pancharangams.
The moolavar here is Parimala Ranganathar also known as Maruviniya Maindan. It is an imposing 12 feet long image made of green stone in a reclining posture. The Thayar is Parimala Ranganayaki also called Pundareekavalli. The Theertham is Indrapushkarini and the Vimanam Vedachakra Vimanam.
The legend has it that the demons Madhu and Kaitaba stole the Vedas and disappeared into the sea. Lord Vishu in the form of Mastya Avatara restored the Vedas and restored their fragrance. Hence the name
Sugandharanyam and Parimala Ranganathar.
Legend also has that Chandra who was afflicted by a curse was cured of the same by worshipping the Lord at this Shetram.
There is an interesting story that river Cauvery is
given in this shetram the status of Ganga. At Srirangam, She is being taken by the Lord as bed, as mother in Tirucherai and above His head at this shetram, as Ganga occupies the head of Siva. Cauvery and Ganga can be seen near the head and foot of the Lord in the sanctum.
While Srirangam is known as Aadhi Arangam, Tirukundanthai as Madhya Arangam, this Shetram is known as Andhiya Arangam.
There are sannadhis for Santhana Gopalan, Yoga Narasimhar, Ramar, Anjaneyar, Surya and Chandran.
Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam:
Tirumangai Azhwar ? 1328, 1337, 2775 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayira Divya prabhandam)
The
Dwajasthamba mantapam and the Garuda mantapam have exquisitely carved pillars and images of Dasa avatarams. Worship to Santhana Gopalan in this temple will bless the couple to beget children.
