TIRUPPUKUZHI

 

This Divya shetram is located 11 Kms from Kancheepuram on the Katpadi road.

 

The moolavar is Vijayaraghava perumal in a seated posture and the Tayar is Maragathavalli in a separate sanctum.  The Theertham is Jatayu Theertham and the Vimanam Vijayakoti Vimanam.

 

The legend has it that Rama estranged from Sita performed the last rites to Jatayu, who succumbed to the wounds inflicted by Ravana, by offering tarpana at this place and hence the name Tiru pul kuzhi. The moolavar is found having Jatayu on his lap and interestingly Sri Devi and Bhoodevi are found in the interchanged position in the sanctum.

Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam:

Tirumangaoi Azhwar – 1115, 2770 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayira Divya prabhandam)

 

On New moon day there is congregation of pilgrims at the jatayu Teertham to perform rites to their departed souls. In this temple barren women receive the prasadam of roasted lentils soaked in water. While taken home, it is believed, that if the lentils sprout they will beget children.
