Today, November 7, 2013; Vijaya Varusha Aippasi Thirumoolam, Swami Manavala Mamunigal Thirunakshatram was celebrated in a grand manner at Thiruvellarai Divya Desam. There was purappadu for Swami Manavala Mamunigal earlier in the morning. Several astikas participated in the utsavam and received the blessings of the Acharyan and Perumal.
Located about 20 km North of Trichy, on the way to Thuraiyur is Thiruvellari temple. Perumal here is known as Sri Pundarikakshan and Thayar is Shenbagavalli Thayar. Only in three Divya Desams does the Goddess get the first rights over the Lord – Nachiyar temple in Thiru Naraiyur, Andal in Srivilliputhur and here at Thiruvellarai.
