WORSHIP LORD AS TRIVIKRAMA IN THE TEMPLE TOWN OF KANCHI

 


 The Divya Kshetram TIRU OORAGAM is in the temple town of Kanchipuram. It is also called Ulagalanda Perumal Koyil.

The presiding deity is Trivikrama called Ulagalanda Perumal and the Goddess Amudhavalli Nachiyar. The sacred water is Naga Theertham and the Sanctum sanctorum is Sarasreekara Vimanam.

According to the sthala purana, Bali chakravarthy could not have the darshan of the Lord during Trivikrama Avataram, as he was under the Lord's foot. Acceding to the request of King Bali Lord vishnu appeared as Trivikrama at this kshetram. 

The presiding deity is 35 feet high and 24 feet wide. It is also believed that Lord Vishnu is said to have manifested Himself as Adisesha in a small shrine at Oorakam.
