Thiru Deivanagar Thogai,or Madhava Perumal - 10th Tirunangur temple

 Lord Vishnu here, in this temple is  Deiva Nayaga Perumal in Nindra Kolam  and is flanked by Sreedevi and Boodevi.

Thayar , God's consort here has a separate shrine and is known as Deivanayagi.

The Utsavar here is Madhava Perumal and consort Madhava Nayagi.

 All Gods gathered  here to pray Lord Vishnu, thus this  place came to be known as Devanar Thogai.

This temple located at Keezhchaalai is 6.5 Kms from seerkazhi and just 1 Km from Tiruvali.
Thirumangai Azhwar praised Lord here and it is sung daily by the priests here.

Vaikunta Nathar 6, Tirunangur temple, Near Sirkazhi

This temple has  Vainkunta Nathar, Lord Maha Vishnu blessing His devotees sitting on Adisesha. One leg is curled up ,bend at  the knees other let down as if he is  is waiting to rush to help those who completely surrender to him. The same idol, I have seen in Poornathrayeesa temple , Trippunithura in Kerala.
This temple has no other shrines.
There are idols of Santhana Krishna and consorts of Lord Vishnu in the sanctum.

Here the Moolavigraha( the main idol) and Utsavar are similar idols.
Check my previous posts  for other Tirunangur temples.

Pallikonda Perumal .4th Tirunangur Temple

This  is yet another ancient temple of Vishnu Tirupati . Here we find Lord Vishnu reclining on serpent Adisesha and known as Ranganatha .
Senkamalavalli Thayar is the consort of Ranganatha Swamy
Garuda Azhwar sannidhi is right in front of the main shrine.

Inside  the temple we find small idols of Azhwars .
These temples do not get much crowd except during the festivals .
The temple is very old, small  and ordinary  and we find an idol of Ranganatha on Adisesha above  the main entrance.
I just wonder why these temples were not constructed as grand as other temples which we see in Chidambaram, Sirkazhi or Kumbakonam.
All Tirunangur temples can be visited in half a day. 
Try to start around 8 Am so that it can be completed before 12.Noon.

The next temple I visited was of Narayana Perumal.
This temple is  bigger than Annan Koil.
It is believed that Lord Badrinarayana appeared here to Shiva when he appeared in His 11 divine forms.
Goddess  Padmathi Tayar is known here as Pundareega Valli Thayar.
All the other deities from other Tirunangur divyadesams  arrive here in  this temple in a procession during the Thai month on no moon day  in their Garuda Vahanams.
Thirumangai Azhwar also arrives here from Tirunagari and hymns composed by him are sung during the festival.
