Divya Desam series - Talaichchanga Naanmadiyam

 

TALAICHCHANGA NAANMADIYAM

 

This Divya Shetram is located in Talaichchangaadu village close to Aakkur near Sirkazhi, between Chidambaram and Mayiladuthurai.

 

The moolavar Naanmadiyapperumaal is in a standing posture and the Thayar is Talaichanga Nachiyar. The Theertham is Chandra pushkarini and the Vimanam Chandra Vimanam.

 

The legend is that Lord Vishnu was blessed with a conch – Talai Changu – upon worshipping Siva. A priceless conch adorns the image of the Lord in this shetram. It is also believed that Chandran, the moon God worshipped Lord Vishnu, and hence the pushkarini is called Chandra pushkarini. There is a very beautiful idol of Andal in this temple.

Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam:

Tirumangai Azhwar – 1736, 2778 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayira Divya prabhandam)
