The Divyakshetram TIRUVELUKKAI is located in the temple town of Kanchipuram. The presiding deity is Azhagiyasingar - Narasimhar, also called Mukunda Nayakar in a standing posture. The Goddess is Amruthavalli also called Velukkaivalli, and the sacred water is Kanaka saras and the sanctum sanctorum is Kanaka vimanam.
It is believed that Lord Narasimha at the Hastishaila caves in the Attigiri sanctum hill, manifested himself yet again as Narasimhar and chased away the demons from the vicinity, and stayed at this kshetram as Yoga Narasimhar. Since the lord stayed at this place at His pleasure (Vel means desire), this place is called Velukkai.
