Kazhicheerama Vinnagaram,, Trivikrama Perumal, Tadalan, 108 divya desam at Seerkazhi

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.

Vanmutti Perumal- Mayiladuthurai , Tamilnadu

Situated 5 Kms from the town of Mayiladuthurai at Kozhikuthi village is the abode of  Lord Sreenivasa Perumal . The Lord here stands tall as if touching the sky and is referred to as  Vanmutti Perumal.  The idol is made of Athimaram (fig tree) similar to the one at Varadaraja Perumal temple in Kanchipuram.

The legend is -A king who was ailing from chronic skin dosha was cured here at this place . He was guided to this place by Lord Shiva . The king stayed here for 48 days and took a dip in the holy viswaroopa pushkarani and got relief from his ailment. He also had the privilege of having Lord's Vishwaroopa darshan in a fig tree ( Athi maram).The king later became sage Pipplar.

Later a  Chola king also sought the help of the sage to get relief from the sins he committed during war . Sage advised him to worship Lord Srinivasa Perumal here . The king too had a vision of lord in the fig tree. Spell bound by the beauty of the darshan, he got the sculptors to carve an idol from the single Athi tree and constructed a beautiful temple here.
The famous Pipplar maharishi theertham is believed to cure skin diseases.

Sthalasayana Perumal ,Krupa Samudra perumal,Tirusirupiuliyur Divaya desam

Tirusirupuliyur divyadesam is the place where Lord Vishnu appeared  as Krupa Samudran and gave shelter to Adisesha when there was a fight between Garuda and Serpent God as to who provided better service to Lord. Finding Garuda to be little arrogant Vishnu ruled in favour of Adisesha. Fearing an angry reaction from Garuda he took shelter at this place. The God allowed him to coil below Him  and Garuda decided not to fly above this region.

As Adisesha is given a special place above Garuda this temple is also a place to worship for Naga dosha and kalasarpa dosha.

 This is also the place where Lord appeared as bala sayanam kolam to sage Vyagrapada understanding very well that  he would not be able to see the huge form of Lord because of his poor eye sight. Here in the sanctum we see a Bala Ranganatha.
Temple is near 17 Kms from Mayiladuthurai in a small village.
