TIRUCHIREEVARAMANGAI (Vanamamalai)
This Divya shetram is located in Nanguneri on the way to Nagarkoil from Tirunelveli. The moolavar is Totadrinathan in a seated posture with Sridevi and Bhoodevi atop the Vaikunta Vimanam. The Thayar is Srivaramangai Nachiayar. The Theertham is Indra Pushkarini and the Vimanam Nandavathana Vimanam.
The legend has it that Brahma, Indra, Brigu Maharishi and Markandeya were blessed by Lord Vishnu at this shetram. Urvasi and Tilothama are said to have worshipped the Lord at this place and their images are found in the sanctum fanning the moolavar.
Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam:
Nammaazhwar ? 3299-3309 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayira Divya
prabhandam). The deity is given Thaila abhisekham daily and the oil, which is considered to have medicinal value, is stored in a well. The temple Satari has the image of Nammaazhwar cast on it. The Vanamamalai Jeer administers the temple. The annual festival is during the Tamil month of Panguni and Chittirai.
