>> TIRUVINNAGAR (Uppiliappan Koil)
>>
>> This Divya Shetram is located near Kumbakonam
>>
>> The name Oppiliappan refers to the presiding deity who is considered
>> comparable to none. Nammaazhwar refers to Him as Ponnappan, Maniappan,
>> Muttappan, Ennappan, and Tiruvinnagarappan.
>>
>> The moolavar Oppiliappan or Uppiliappan is in the standing posture
>> resembling Venkatachalapathi of Tirupati. The Thayar is Bhumi Devi
>> enshrined in the same sanctum. The Theertham is Ahoratra pushkarini and
>> the Vimanam Vishnu Vimanam.
>>
>> The legend has it that Bhudevi was reborn as the daughter of Markandeya
>> Maharshi and one day Lord Vishnu disguised in the form of an old man
>> sought her hand in marriage. To ward off the marriage the Maharshi
>> informed the old man that his daughter is not well versed in house hold
>> duties and she will even forget to season salt in the food she prepares.
>> The old man revealed Himself and took Bhudevi as his wife. As per the
>> wishes of the wife of Markandeya the prasadam is prepared without salt
>> and
>> offered to the presiding deity. Thus the deity is also called
>> Uppiliappan.
>> (Uppillatha appan). It is believed that those who take salt or salted
>> food inside the temple will go to hell. During the festival Perumal is
>> always accompanied with Thayar when He is taken in procession outside the
>> temple.
>> Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam:

>> and Puratassi. The Vasanthotsavam is being celebrated in Vaigasi and
