TIRUKKOVILUR
 
This Divya shetram is located closer to Tiruvannamalai. This is one of the panchakrishna shetrams. The others are Tirukkannankudi, Kapisthalam, Tiru Kannapuram and 
Tiru Kannmangai.
 
The moolavar is an imposing image of Ulagalanda Perumal or Trivikramar with His foot raised. The Thayar is Poonkoval Nachiyar. The Theertham is Krishna Theertham and the Vimanam Sreekara Vimanam.
 
The legend has it that Mrikandu Maharshi worshipped Vishnu at this shetram as Trivikrama. It is also believed that the Mudal Azhwars ? Poigai, Boothath and Peyazhwar ? took shelter in the hermitage of Mrikandu Munivar on a stormy night. They felt the presence of one more person and found the Lord with Lakshmi and composed their first three Tiruvandadi in praise of Him.
Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam:
Tirumangai Azhwar _ 1078, 1138-47, 1569, 1641, 2057, 2058, 2068, 2673, 2773
Poigai Azhwar ? 2158, 2167
Bhootath Azhwar ? 2251
Peyazhwar ? 2158 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayira Divya prabhandam)
 
The annual festival is being celebrated during the Tamil month Panguni. Manavala Mamuni Utsavam is held in Aaippisi. Rajendra deva Chola rebuilt this temple with granite stones during the 11th century.
