                                            TIRUVELLIYANKUDI

 

This Divya Shetram is located 20 Kms from Kumbakonam enroute to Aaduthurai. This place is also called Bhargavapuram.

 

The moolavar is Kolavilli Raman also called Bhujanga sayanam in a reclining posture and the Thayar is Maragathavalli. The theertham is Sukra, Brahma, Parasurama and Indra Theertham and the Vimanam is Pushkala Varthaga Vimanam. The sthala vriksham is Kadhali (Vazhai).

 

As Lord Sukran (Venus) performed penance at this shetram it is called Velliankudi. It is believed that Sukran, Brahma, Indra, Parasarar, Markandeyan, Mayan and Bhoomi Devi have worshipped Lord Vishnu at this place. It is considered that visiting this shetram is equivalent to visiting all of the 108 Divya shetrams.

 

Legend also has it that Mayan meditated to Lord Vishnu and the Lord appeared with the conch and discus. He then requested the Lord to appear in the form of Rama. Thereon the Lord handed over His discus and conch to Garudan and took the form of Rama with the bow and arrow.  Thus this place obtained the name Kolavilli Raman and one finds the vigraha of Garudazhwar with discus and conch.
