Tirijpavalavannam - Pavalavanna Perumal Temple

This is yet another Divya Desa sanctifying Kancheepuram, the then capital city of many ruling princes. This is enshrining two Perumal icons each in a separate sannidhi. The Moolavar is in standing posture and faces west. He gave darsan to Mother Parvathi and Ashwani devathas and lifted them when prayed, during their trouble-some period. The garbhagriha is adorned with Pravala Vimana and the temple Pushkarini is called Chakra thirtha. The Mother is called Pavalavalli Tayar. This kshetra is enshrining the image of Pachchavannar Perumal too. And he is in standing posture facing east. It is an independent temple having its own vimana called Matakata and tank Brighu thirtha. Tirumangai Alwar offered Nlangalasasan to the deities on his visit.

It is in Sivakanchi and very near to Mother Karnakshi temple and can be reached by walk or auto.
