Tirumeyyam - Satyagirinatha Perumal Temple

This is one of the 108 Divya Desams and also reckoned as one of the 18 great Vaishnavate temple of Pandya desa. Vumaiyyan, the then ruling Prince lavishly endowed the temple and made a great pilgrim centre. This is also called Satya kshetra. The Moolavar - Satyagirinatha Perumal is in standing posture and facing east. The garbhagriha is beautified with Satyagiti Vimana. The Goddess is called Vuyyavandal Ammal. It has two big tanks called Kadamba pushkarini and Satyagiri thirtha. Tirumangai Alwar immortalised the glory of this kshetra with his fragrant Pasuramala. Another creditable feature it claims is the existence of another immensely popular and infinitely sacred Saivakshetra called Satyagireeswara shrine.

It is a rail head on the Tiruchunapalli and Manamadurai line, and the temple lies at a walkable distance from the station.
