Tiruvahindrapuram
- Daivanayakan Perumal Temple
This
renowned Vaishnava kshetra claims the honour of blessing Vedantha Desika by
Hayagrivamurti, besides giving darsan to Indra and Garuthmantha. The presiding
deity - Daivanayaka Perumal is in standing posture and faces east. The Mother is
called Vaikuntanayaki Tayar. Chandra Vimana adorns the garbha griha and it is
built in the Dravidian architectural style. The holy tanks are called Garuda
thirtha, Chandra thirtha and Sesha thirtha. This is popular as one of the two
Madhya Tirupathis. Being a fairly developed town, it caters to the needs of
pilgrims with boarding and lodging facilities. Daily puja is offered with great
devotional fervor and the annual festivals are celebrated with due pomp and
splendour. Tirumangai Alwar prayed and offered to this Lord, his Pasuramala
which is still fragrant even today.
It
lies near Kadalur railway station and accessible by bus also.
