HISTORY OF THE TEMPLE:
 A
king by name Mahabali, hosted a yaha to get the
power much more than others, with the help of
Sukirachari. To let his ego down, Vishnu appeared
there disgused and asked him for "dhana" for land of
three feet. Due to his donating nature, the king
accepted for it, unknowing that the disgusted man is
Vishnu. The vishnu taking the opportunity kept gaint
leep, with first leg in earth and second leg in sky.
and asked the king, where to keep the third step. on
realising the presence of Vishnu, Mahabali felt
ashamed and replies that there is no place with him
other than his head. Vishnu kept his feet on the
head. Due to the weight , Mahabali drowned in the
ground. Vishnu granted pardon to him and blessed
him.
DIVINESS OF THE TEMPLE:
This is one among the "Pancha Krishnaranya
Kshetram". (five places of Lord Krishna). In this
sthalam only, Naalayira Divya Prabandham was
explained to the world and it can be said that it is
the place of origin of it. The Moolavar of this
sthalam is Thiruvikraman. The Perumal is also called
as "Dahaleesan". Moolavar in Nindra, Nadantha (Ulagalantha)
kolam facing East direction and his right leg lifted
upwards towards the sky. And the great and a special
thing is that the Sangu, which will be usually on
the left hand is on the right hand and the Chakkaram
which will be on the right hand is on the left hand.
Location :Thirukovilur 35kms from both Villupuram
and Thiruvannamalai. The best possible route at this
point of time seems to be from Villupuram. |
