Dear Sri.Vasu Venkat,

Further to SatAkOpan Maama's list, an important Divya

DEsam, "Sarangapani Koil" in Thirukudanthai Divya DEsam(where Sri Nathamunigal

got Naalayiram from Swamy Nammazhvaar) is indeed a "Ramar temple". Several

Azhvaars have sung in praise of this Divya DEsam, and notably Thirumangai

Azhvaar has sung, worked for this temple(including providing the Thiru

ThEr(chariot) to Chakravarthy Thirumagan which is still in use today). AdiyEn

am sure there are more Divya DEsam, such as Thirupullani(near Ramanathapuram)has

Darba Sayana PerumAl(Lord RAma sleeping on Darba Grass, before crossing the

ocean to Sri Lanka).

 

AdiyEn Sri RAmAnuja DAsan,

 

Sudarsana Dasosmi

Dear Sri Vasu Venkat:

 

There are many "Raamar Temples" among Dhivya Desams .

For instance , AyOdha , PuLLambhUtham Kudi, ThiruveLLiyankudi,

ThiruveLLUr and Srirangam ( Uthsavar) , Thirupputtkkuzhi

are some of the 108 dhivya dEsams with Sri Ramachandran

as the presiding deity.

 

There are Sri Raamar Sannidhis at other dhivya dEsams like

ThirukkAzhicchIrAMa ViNNagaram , ThiruvahIndhrapuram ,

Oppiliappan Sannidhi among dhivya desam .

 

This is just for starters. AzhwArs have enjoyed the Lords

of many dhivya dEsams as Sri Ramachandran and sung about

their aanandhAnubhavams.
