A TEMPLE WHERE INDRA WAS RELIEVED OF A BLAME

    


 The Divya desam TIRUPPULINKUDI is part of Nava Tirupathi and is located around 4 Kms from Srivaikuntam in Tamilnadu

The presiding deity is Kaaisinavendan in a reclining posture. The Goddess is Malarmagal Nachiyar. The sacred water is Varuna theertham and the sanctum sanctorum is Vedasara Vimanam 

The legend had it that Indra was relieved of the Brahmahati dosham at this kshetram. It is also believed that Yagna Sarma who turned a demon due to a curse regained his original form by praying to the Lord at this kshetram.

The presiding deity is a huge structure with the stalk of the Lotus flower from the navel of the Lord to a flower on which Brahma is seated. The Lord's feet can be worshipped from a window by the side of the sanctum.
