Dear Srimathi Padmashri,
 
thanks for all the nectars you are pouring.  I have one more suggestion to make - if you can also give any website relating to the Divya desam which you are writing about or the phone numbers or the location, it will add more honey to the nectar, I feel. Please accept my apologies if you feel it is too much.
 
Anyways,  please do keep writing such beautiful portraits of our great Lords!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
With namaskarams

                                                TIRUVAZHUNDUR

 

This Divya shetram also known as Aamaruviyappan temple is located close to Mayiladuthurai, near Tanjavur. This is one of the five sacred shrines dedicated to Krishna.

 

The moolavar is Devadirajan also called Aamaruviappan in a standing posture. The Thayar is Senkamalavalli, and the Theertham is Darshana Pushkarini and the Vimanam Garuda Vimanam.

 

Legend has it that Brahma caused the herds of cattle being grazed by Krishna disappear, upon which Krishna created another herd. Finding this Brahma apologized to Krishna and requested Him to take abode at Tiruvazhandur. It is also believed that Kaveri, Garuda, Agasya, Dharma and King Uparisravas worshiped Vishnu. In the sanctum Prahlada is to the right of the moolavar and Garudan to His left. Kaveri is portrayed as worshipping the Lord.

 

This is the birthplace of Kamban, the author of Ramanaya in Tamil. The idols of Kamban and his wife are installed inside the temple. The chariot of the King by name Oordvaradan was stuck in the ground, at this shetram and as such this place gained the name Terazhundur.

Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam:

Tirumazhisai Azhwar – 2673, 2773 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayira Divya prabhandam)

The annual festival is being celebrated during the month of Vaikasi. The Kamban festival is celebrated in the month of Panguni

Om Namo Narayanaya

Padmashri Sampathkumar
