TIRUNANDIPURA VINNAGARAM This Divya Shetram is located in Nandipura Vinnagaram, close to Korukkai near Kumbakonam. This place is also called Dakshina Jagannatham. The moolavar is Jagannathan or Vinnagaraperumal in a seated posture, and the Thayar is Shenbagavalli. The Theertham is Nanditheertha pushkarini and the Vimanam Mandaara Vimanam. According to the sthala purana Nandi performed penance at this place to seek

atonement for the fault of insulting the Dwarapalakas at Vaikuntam, and had the Darsan of Lord Vishnu. Tirumangai Azhwar calls it as “Nandi panisaida naga”. It is also believed that the moolavar was originally facing east and turned to west to see Sibi Chakravarthi sacrificing his life to save the life of a pigeon.
