Guest guest Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 TIRUVIDANDAI This Divya shetram is located 40 Kms from Chennai on the road to Mahabalipuram. This place is also called Sripuri and Varahapuri. The moolavar is Lakshmi varaha perumal also called Nitya Kalyana perumal in a standing posture. The Thayar is Komalavalli Nachiyar in a separate sanctum. The Theertham is Kalyana Theertham and the Vimanam Kalyana Vimanam. The legend has it that the sage Kavala Maharshi had 360 daughters and offered all of them to the Lord. The Lord accepted them and made them into one maiden and kept her on His lap. The Lord married one maiden a day and married all the 360 daughters of the Maharshi in a year and gained the name Nitya kalyana perumal. Since the Lord has His consort to His left side the shetram is also called Edavendai. Markandeya and Mahabali have worshipped at this shetram. Azhwar mangalaasaasanam: Tirumangai Azhwar – 1021, 1108 -1117, 2673 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayira Divya prabhandam). The Brahmotsavam is in the Tamil month of Chittirai and Garuda sevai is held in the Tamil months of Aani, Aadi, Thai and Masi.
