Thirukkachi Perarulalan had a thiruvullam to have His Divine Abode in chola mandalam also, near to Rajamannargudi. He once have made some of srivaishnavites to undertake Sethu yathra and on theway they stayed in a place, reciting Divya prabhandhams. Perumal Made that place itself as His another abode for Hearing the Divya prabandham daily.The King of that region had consecrated Perumal in the same place, who showed Himself in a nearby place underneath a tulasi Garden. The King has allotted the Five villages for the Srivaishnavas who were reciting the Divyaprabhandham to carry on with their kainkaryam in that place for Devadhirajan, daily. That Place is Called KARAPPANKADU, which has given us many sampradhaya Maha Vidhwans. The Five villages are famously called as PANCHA GRAMAM, Viz.. KARAPPANKADU, NAMMANKURICHI, PULIAKKUDI, PERAVOORANI AND SERANKULAM.
Hi,
I was told that the perumal temple in Melanammankurichi was earlier in a different place inside the paddy fields closer to pamini river (inside “kottagam”) and was totally washed away by a flood in the river. Anyone knows the exact location where this temple was situated earlier and are there some remains from that location available to research the time period of that ancient temple.
Thanks, Veerasekaran
