SHRIMAN NARAYANA - THIRUNANGUR DIVYADESANGAL Get rid of your incurable diseases... Worship GajendraVaradhan at Thirumanikkudam Divyadesam

SHRIMAN NARAYANAYA NAMAHA!

The Thirumanikkudam Divyadesam is believed to cure incurable diseases.

It is said that Thakkan, had 27 daughters. All of them were married to Chandran(Moon). Chandran had promised to take care all of them and

treat them equally. However, he was fond of Rohini and always stayed

'with her, neglecting the others. All the 26 sisters of Rohini, complained to Thakkan about the ill treatment. Irked by the complaint, Thakkan cursed Chandran to suffer from incurable disease. Day by day, Chandran was loosing his shine and sheen. He was a worried lot. To get out of the curse, Chandran visited Divyaddesams. He worshipped in Srirangam, Thiru Indalur, Thalachangadu and came to Thirumanikkudam and worshipped Perumal. Here Perumal appeared before him as Varadarajar and granted him boons. Chandran's disease and curse disappeared. He was very happy.

As you enter the Thirumanikkudam Kovil, you will see Bali peetom and Garudazvar Sannadhi. There are Mahamandapam and Ardha Mandapam.
