Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 TIRUKKODITTAANAM This Divya shetram is 3 Kms from Chengannacheri near Kottyam in Kerala. The moolavar is Athputha Narayana and the Thayar Karpagavalli. The Theertham is Bhoomi Theertham and the Vimanam Punyakoti Vimanam. Legend has it that Sahadeva of the Pandavas built this temple. King Rukmangatha of Surya vamsa undertook Ekadasa vratham her and gifted away all his punya to the Devas to enable them to reach Devaloka. There are also shrines for Krishna and Narasimhar. Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam: Nammaazhwar – 3618-3628 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayira Divya prabhandam) There is an interesting story of the temple servant being cursed by the presiding deity to turn into a stone, as he delayed the opening of the temple doors making the devotees to wait to have the darsan of the Lord. The statue of the servant can be seen in front of the temple. Om Namo Narayana Padmashri Sampathkumar Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Search.
