Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 TIRUTHANGAL This Divya shetram is located 3 Kms near Sivakasi, on Virudhunagar Tenkasi road. There are two temples one at the top of a small hillock and other on the way in a cave, and one at the base of the hill. The moolavar in the hill temple is Ninra Narayanan in a standing posture and the Thayar Senkamala Thayar. The deity in the cave temple is Rangnathar also called Pallikonda perumal, and the Thayar in a standing posture is Senkamala Thayar. The Theertham is Papavinasa Theertham and the Vimanam Somachandra Vimanam. The moolavar in the Base temple is Tirukkolaperumal. Garudaazhwar is depicted with the Amruta kalasa and serpent. The legend has it that Lord Ranganathar on His way from Srirangam to Srivilliputtur resided at this shetram. Hence the name Tiruthangal. It is also known that there was a conflict between Sri Devi, Bhoo Devi and Nila Devi as to who is superior. Sri Devi left Her abode and settled down at Tiruthangal where she is being worshipped as Arunakamala Mahadevi. On Her meditation, she was joined by the Lord, Bhoo Devi and Neela Devi. Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam: Tirumangai Azhwar – 1399, 2068, 2673, 2772 Bhootathaazhwar – 2251 (pasuram number as found in Naallayira Divya prabhandam). The Brahmotsavam is during Vaikashi; Perumal is taken in procession to Srivilliputhur on Tiru aadi pooram.
