Thiru Naagai, (today popularly called as Nagapattinam) is the place where Soundara Raja Perumal resides. The Perumal here is soo beautiful that Thirumangai Azhwar couldn’t withstand His beauty. A spell bound Thiru Mangai Azhvaar raves about the beauty of Soundara Rajan as “Ponn Ivar Meni Marakathin Pongu Ilan Jyothi Yagalatharam……Achho Oruvar Azhagiya Vaa…”- 1758,
‘Achho’ is a phrase used to show our excitement when we see something that keeps us ‘spell bound’. To read more about this temple click here: anudinam.org/2012/03/10/thiru-nagai/
