This divyadesam of Vishnu is in the town of Seerkazhi in Nagapattinam district.
The presiding deity here is Lord Trivikrama Narayana standing with his left leg pointing towards the sky . His right hand is extended as if to receive the dhan from King Mahabali and a finger of the left hand asking for the next one foot of land promised to him.
The Utsavar here is known as Tadalan. The Lord here is praised as mann alantha Thadalan ( Tadalan means ruler of the earth/world ). As Lord scaled the earth with His foot Sri Andal called him Tadalan.
Here Goddess Mahalakshmi is supporting the Lord so that He should not feel the pain of standing on one leg.
There are also separate shrines for Lord Sri Rama , Garuda, Andal and Sri Krishna
The Sattainathar Kovil, a famous Shiva temple is also very close to this .
Read about Ulagalanda Perumal at Tirukoilur, the other Trivikrama temple near Tiruvannamalai which I visited.
