TIRUKKOODALOOR (Aaduthuraipperumaal koil) This Divya shetram is located at a distance of 12 Kms from Tiruvaiyaru enroute to Kumbakonam, from Tanjavur by road. The moolavar is called Vaiyamkaatha Perumaal or Jagatrakshakan in a standing posture. The Thayar is Padmasani also called Pushpavalli. The Theertham is Chakra Theertham and the Vimanam is Sutha satva Vimanam. Legend goes that the Devas together with Nandaka Muni gathered at this shetram to worship Lord Vishnu and hence gained the name Koodaloor – meaning meeting place.
