NAGAPATTINAM

On another side, is painted the scene of the Lord coming to his bhakta in the form of an outcaste with four dogs and a drum in his hand, and Parvati leading two boys by the hand and a liquor pot on her head.

The Brahmins who were performing Yajna shouted to the man to go away, as a
cut-caste should not approach them. Noting his persistent approach, all ran away from him except one who was a true devotee and recognized that it was God Himself. There is another deity in the temple, Lord Tyagaraja. Nagapattinam is one of the seven sacred shrines of Tyagaraja.
