AN ANCIENT TEMPLE WHERE VASISHTAR MUNI WORSHIPPED THE LORD

 



The Divya kshetram TIRU DEVANAAR TOGAI is located 6 Kms from Sirkazhi in TamilNadu. This is one of the 11 Tirumangai Azhwar Divya Desams.

The presiding deity is Deivanayakan, also called Madhava Perumal in  a standing posture flanked by Sri Devi and Bhoodevi. The sacred water is Sobhanapushkarini and the sanctum sanctorum is Sobhana Vimanam.

The legend has it that a congregation of Devas assembled at this shrine and worshipped Lord Vishnu. Hence it is called Devanaar togai. It is also believed that vasishtar Muni worshipped the Lord at this kshetram.

Tirumangai Azhwar Mangalaasaasana utsavam in the Tamil month of Thai  is a spectacular event, and ekadasa Garuda sevai attracts a large number  of pilgrims.
