Brief Temple History:

=> Thirukurukur became Azhvarthirunagari after Nammazhvar. 
Alwarthirunagari is situated on the banks of the river Thamirabarani, 
which is 32 KM's east of Thirunelveli. Azhvarthirunagari is one among 
Nava Thirupathi Dhiviya Desam. 

=> Mathurakavi Azhvar took Nammazhvar as his "Acharya". After hearing 
Thiruvaimozhi from Nammazhvar, Mathurakavi Azhvar sung "Kanninunn 
Siruthambhu" in praise of Nammazhvar. He requested his Acharya for 
his "vigraha" to worship for himself and for the benefit of future 
generations. On his Acharya's direction, he boiled the holy water of 
river Thamirabarani, where an idol with "Anjali Hastham" emerged 
first. They realized the idol as "BhavishyathAcharian" (Future 
Acharya). BhavishyathAcharian was later called as "the Emperumanar 
(Ramanujar)". Nammazhvar had made mangalasasanam in his 
Thiruvaimozhi "Poliga, Poliga, Poliga (5 ch, 2) in favour of 
BhavishyathAcharain. 

=> The same "Bhavishyathacharya" vigraha is in this Emperumanar 
Sannidhi in Azhvarthirunagari. 

=> The current temple here was constructed by Thiruvaimozhi Pillai 
(Mamunikal's Acharya), to host the Bhavishyad Acharyan Sannidhi.

=> Seventh Pontiff of of this Emperumanar Mutt: H.H. Sadagopa 
Ramanuja Jeeyar Swamigal gave sanyasa ashrama to "Manavala 
Mamunikal". 

=> Manavala Mamunikal composed "Yathiraja Vimsathi" in praise of 
Emperumanar at this sthalam..On hearing this 20 slokas in sanskrit, 
Thiruvaimozhi Pillai titled him as "Yatindra Pravanar".
