The Divya Kshetram TIRUNANGUR (Tirukkavalampadi) is located at a distance of 10 kms from Sirkhazi in Tamil Nādu. This shrine is also known as Keezhchattanathapuram and Kannan Koyil.
The presiding deity is Gopalakrishnan with His consorts Rukmini and Satyabhama portrayed in a standing posture, and holding a cow with a rope in his left hand. The Goddess is Senkamala Naachiyaar, also called Madavaral Mangai. There is no separate sanctum for the Goddess. The ustavar (the deity taken in procession) is called Rajagopalan. The sacred water is Tadamalarppoikai and the sanctum sanctorum is swayambu vimanam.
The sthala puranam is that Krishna went in search of the parijatha flowers to please the desire of satyabhama. After a long search, He meditated on Lord Siva, who revealed to Him that the lake is filled with Parijatha flowers at this kshetram. with the presence of Rukmini and Satyabhama with the Lord at this shrine, this is considered to be equivalent to Dwaraka.
