The Divya kshetram -TIRUPPERAI is one of the Nava Tirupathi temples and is located at 5Kms from Azhwar Tirunagari on the way to Tiruchendur from Tirunelveli. The presiding deity is Makara Nedunkuzhaikkadan in a seated posture with Sri Devi and BhooDevi. The Goddess is Kuzhaikkaduvalli Nachiyar and Tirupperai Nachiyar. The sacred water is Sukra pushkarini and the sanctum sanctorum is Bhadra Vimanam.
The legend has it that as per the advice of Durvasa Muni, Bhoo Devi meditated at this kshetram. While bathing in the Tamiraparani river she discovered two fish shaped ear rings, which she offered to the Lord. Hence the name Makara Nedunkuzhaikkadam. It is believed that Varuna has worshipped the Lord at this kshetram to be absolved himself of a curse.
