A TEMPLE WHERE THAILA ABHISEKHAM IS PERFORMED EVERYDAY






 The Divyadesam TIRUCHIREEVARAMANGAI (vanamamalai) is located in Nanguneri on the way to Nagarkoil from Tirunelveli. The presiding deity is Totadrinathan in a seated posture with Sridevi and Bhoodevi top the vaikunta Vimanam. The Goddess is Srivaramangai Nachiyar. The sacred water is Indra Pushkarini and the sanctum sanctorum is Nandavathana Vimanam

The legend has it that Lord Vishnu blessed Brahma, Indra, Brigu Maharishi, and Markandeya at this kshetram. Urvasi and Tilothama are said to have worshipped the Lord at this place and their images are found in the sanctum facing the presiding deity.

The deity is given  Thaila abhisekham daily and the oil, which is considered to have medicinal value, is stored in a well.
