It is requested that members who wish to give details of a divya desam give more importance to the temple and details as mentioned in the following narration.______________________Uraiyur Sthala Puranam Thirukkozhi - Sri Azhagiya Manavala Perumal Temple. (Uraiyur)Temple Location :Situated in Urayoor, Trichy district in Tamil Nadu. It is located inurayoor which is in between Trichy - Erode railway lane. 2 miles awayfrom Trichy Junction. It is also near to Naachiyar koil. Which is inbetween Trichy - Main guard Gate.Sthala Puranam:Once upon a time, there was a discussion among the great rishis thatamong Trimurthies, who is the greatest. But in that discussion also,they could not come to a conclusion that who is great amongst theTrinity. Finally, all the rishis thought it would be helpful for themto find the answer for this if they could get the sugesstion from thegreat muni, Brighu. They all explained about the discussion they hadamong them and said he is the right person to find a solution for thisand clear their doubts whats there in their minds. Brighu muni alsoaccepted their words and told them he would give an answer that wouldclear all of their doubts.First, he went to Kailasam where Lord Shivan and Godess Parvathireside. But, in the entrance itself, Brighu muni was stopped by theDwara Balakaas as the residing deities are all alone and doesnt wantthem to get disturbed. As he got this kind of answer in Kailash, hethought he could not be the right person who might help his devotees asha was not easy to talk with. As he was disappointed by this activity,he then left to Sathya Lokam where Lord Brahma and Godess Saraswathireside.There also he could not meet Brahma devan and he began to think whathe thought when he went to Kailasam. Finally, he went to Sri Vaikuntamwhere Sriman Narayanan and Godess Sri Laksmi reside. As Brighu munienetered Vaikuntam, he was greeted in a good manner and this firstaction made him to think that Sriman Narayanan is the right person towhom all persons and rishis can seek help and can have a directapproach towards him. Sriman Narayanan offered him with the seat anddid the Paadha Pooja for him. But this action of Sri Vishnu made SriLakshmi to think bad and asked Him not to catch hold of his feet. But,this action of Sri Lakshmi made Brighu muni to get angry and cursed Herthat she would born in the world as an ordinary human. But Sri Lakshmifelt very sad for the Curse she got from Brighu muni but SrimanNarayanan said that all the actions are happening according to theirfates only and added that he will follow Her soon towards the earth.At the same time in the earth, a king by named Dharma Varman livedin Kumbakonam, Chozha Naadu. Once he went out for hunting and foundthat the rishis were being distressed by some demons and seeked thehelp from the king. Dharma Varman said that he will help them from thedemons by killing them and he stayed in the forest for sometime. TheKing was happy for all the reason but only one thing made him worry anddisappoint and that is he had no children. He seeked the help of therishis to hep him out to get a child. So, to help the king, all therishis did a Yagam to get a child for the king. At that time, anAsareeri stated that if he want to get a child he should pray towardsSri Lakshmi and as a result, Sri Lakshmi itself will be born as a childto him. Hearing this, he started to pray towards Sri Lakshmi andfinally, a female child was born to him and was kept a name as “VaraLakshmiâ€.As the days went on, Dharma Varman started to seek a perfect groomfor his daughter and announced a Swayamvaram for that. Lots of kingscame for this and at the same time, Sriman Narayanan also came there asone among the grooms. In that hall, when Sri Lakshmi came, she had alook at all the members in the hall and at the same time, she alsonoticed Sriman Narayanan and went straight towards Him without anydelay and Garlanded him.
