The Divya kshetram -TIRUELLIYANKUDI is located 20 kms from kumbakonam enroute to Aaduthurai. This place is also called Bhargavapuram.
The presiding deity Kolavilli Raman is in a reclining posture, called Bhujanga sayanam and the Goddess is Maragathavalli. The sacred water is Sukra, Brahma, Parasurama and Indra theertham and the sanctum sanctorum Pushkala varthaga vimanam. The sthala Vriksham is Kadhali (vazhai)
As Lord sukran (venus) performed penance at this kshetram it is called Velliankudi. It is believed that Sukran, Brahma, Indra, Parasarar, Markandeyan, Mayan and Bhoomi Devi.\ have worshipped Lord Vishnu at this place. It is considered that visiting this kshetram is equivalent to visiting all of the 108 Divya Kshetrams.
Legend also has it that Mayan mediated to Lord Vishnu and the Lord appeared with the conch and discus. He then requested the Lord to appear in the form of Rama. Thereon the lord handed over His Discus and Conch to Garudan and took the form of Rama with the bow and arrow. Thus this place obtained the name Kolavilli Raman and one finds the Vigraha (idol) of Garudazhwar with discus and Conch.
