Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 TIRUVELLAKKULAM This Divya shetram is located 11 Kms by road from Sirkazhi, and one of the 11 Divya desams associated with Tirumangai Azhwar. The moolavar is Srinivasan also known as Annan Perumal in a standing posture. The Thayar is Alarmelmangai. The Theertham is Tiruvellakkulam and the Vimanam Tatvatyodaka Vimanam. There are shrines for Nammazhwar, Manavala Maamuni and Kumudavalli wife of Tirumangai Azhwar. The legend has it that Swetan the son of King Dundumaaran was saved, by the presiding deity, from the clutches of death upon meditating Mruthyunjaya mantram under a vilvamaram on the banks of the pushkarini. Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam: Tirumangai Azhwar – 1308-17 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayira Divya prabhandam). Tirumangai Azhwar Mangalaasaasana Utasavam is the important festival.
