Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 TIRUPPERAI This Divya shetram is one of the Nava Tirupathi temples and is located at 5 Kms from Azhwar Tirunagari on the way to Tiruchendur from Tirunelveli. The moolavar is Makara Nedunkuzhaikkadan in a seated posture with Sri Devi and Bhoo Devi. The Thayar is Kuzhaikkaduvalli Nachiyar and Tirupperai Nachiyar. The Theertham is Sukra pushkarini and the Vimanam Bhadra Vimanam. The legend has it that as per the advice of Durvasa Muni, Bhoo Devi meditated at this shetram. While bathing in the Tamaraparani River she discovered two fish shaped earrings, which she offered to the Lord. Hence the name Makara Nedunkuzhaikkadan. It is also believed that Varuna has worshipped the Lord at this shetram to be absolved himself of a curse.
