Azhagiya Manvalan temple is second Divya desam after sri Ranganatha Swamy temple. There is no Utsavar here. Namperumal, the Utsavar of Sri Rangam temple is brought here for the yearly Panguni Uthram festival. This place is also the birth place of Tirupaana Alwar, a great devotee of Vishnu. Temple architecture is very simple. This temple is not crowded like the Srirangam temple. One can worship the God, in peace.
This is the place where Lord married Mahalakshmi known here as Kamalavalli Nachiyar when she was born as an ordinary human being because of a curse incurred. Here the deities are in kalyana Tirukolam.
Trichy is well connected by road, air and rail.Excellent accommodation facilities are available in the town.

Lovely pictures as always, I am quite drawn by the warm colors!
Chitra, all these many temples you get to see! I guess you could travel India for your whole life, and still discover new things. Happy weekend!
So ornate, those colours are so vivid, and yet, as you say, quite simple compared to some of the other temples we have visited. As always my thanks for such a wonderful post.
A short post bringing out the salient features.I learn that the presiding diety is in standing posture with His consort thayar in seated posture in the same sanctum. Being the birthplace of Tirupaana Alwar the celebrated composer of Amalanadipiran ,the place attains a special significance.Thank you,Chitra
