Dear Sri Sudarshan

I am not sure if Sri Srinivasar is the Kula Deivam for
all Srivaishnavas. For example, for our family Sri
Yoga Narasimhar of Thirukkadikai is the kuladeivam.
For my mother's side it is Sri Varadharaja Perumal of
Karpangadu (which is interesting given that the
village they live in is 1 mile from Raja Mannargudi
the home of Sri Rajagopala swami and Karpangadu is
atleast 10-15 miles away).

This could be because, in olden days people used to
stay at one location and seldom move place to place.
For them the local divya desam or abhmana sthalam
becomes the Kuladeivam, as they surrender to the
Perumal at that temple.
