                                                       TIRUVALLUR

 

This Divya shetram is located at Tuiruvallur on Chennai Arkonam railroad.

 

The moolavar is Veeraraghava perumal in a reclining posture with His right hand blessing the devotees, and the Thayar Kanakavalli Thayar enshrined in a separate sanctum. The Theertham is Hritabhanasini pushkarini and the Vimanam Vijayakoti Vimanam.

 

The legend has it that Lord Vishnu revealed the Vedas to Brahma at this shetram. It is also believed that the Lord in the guise of an old man requested Salihotra Munivar for food and later posing the question for shelter at which place –Evvul  (hence the name Tiru Evvullur). Upon being pointed to his hut by the Munivar the Lord took shelter covering Him with the bark of trees found nearby. The next morning the Munivar realized that the guest was none other than the Lord and prayed to Him to stay at this shetram and bless him. Thus the moolavar is decorated with a bark like vastram.

 

The temple is under the administration of the Ahobila Mutt and there are shrines for Aandal, Nammaazhwar, Ramanujar and Vedantha desikar. There is a separate shrine for Lakshmi Narasimhar. The presiding deity is supposed to cure all diseases and is called Vaidya Narayanan.

Tirumangai Azhwar – 1058-67, 2770

Tirumazhisaiazhwar – 2417 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayira Divaya prabhandam). New moon day is considered to be important to worship at this shetram. 

Om Namo Narayanaya
