Swamin,
 
Thalachangadu is one of very important Divyadesam for Srivaishnavites. It is here, Thirumangai Azvar scored over Thirugnana Sambandar in debate and he was aptly awarded the title "Nalu kavip perumal". Here Sriman Narayana adorns the name of NANMADIYAP PERUMAL", in standing posture facing east.
 
This  Divyadesam is in Myladuthurai - Akkur - Seerkazi Road. Thalachangadu is at a distance of 3 km from Akkur and the divyadesam is a few meters away abutting a kutcha Road. Near the Divyadesam, there are no residential hamlets. The Divyadesam it self is surrendered with fields. Hence no accommadation facility.
 
Chandra Pushkarini is near by, presently used for washing purposes. This pushkarini it self has a parambariam.
 
The Andal statue here is small but very beautiful. There is also Nrusimha statue installed in make shift arrangement. A sannadhi, is available unfinished. Its location is under dispute and hence  unfinished.  An alternate site just behind Thayar Sannadhi is being considered.
 
The present Bhattar has to come from far away Mayiladuthurai. The shrine is opened around 9.30 Am and open till 5.30 Pm continuously. Besides the bhattar, son of the heridity Trustee is in attendence, soliciting funds. Two faithful dogs guard the shrine.
 
There is unfinished accommadation just outside the shrine. It has no roof and doors. It is a twin accommadation. we are told that it is being taken up for repairs to facilitate the Bhattar to stay.  It is doubtful even if the accommadation is made ready, any one will stay in it. It is situated far away from other habitations, amidst fields. The security of the inmates will be a question mark. At best those structures can facilitate Sevarthis as a stop over.
 
The Bhattar has to be provided accommadation in the village Thalasangadu or near by Akkur Tri-junction. This will facilitate him to reach the temple in early hours and stay back till say 7.30 PM.
 
Sevarthis, beware! we understand funds collected  in the temple's premises are pocketted by local heridity and a very little fraction is spent.
