Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 TIRUKADALMALLAI This Divya shetram is located in the village of Mahabalipuram. The moolavar is Stalasayana perumal in a reclining posture and the Thayar Nilamangai Thayar. The Theertham is Pundarika puskharini and the Vimanam Gaganakriti Vimanam. According to the sthala purana Pundareeka Maharshi desirous of worshipping Lord Vishnu with lotus flowers, proceeded eastward and was trying to drain the waters of the ocean to make his way. The Lord came in the guise of an old man and asked for some food. The Maharishi went to fetch him some food, and when he returned he found Lord Vishnu adorning Himslef with the flowers and giving darsan as Ananthasayanam. Hence this place gained the name Sthalasayana perumal.
