What to expect
Thirunangur Vaishnava Divya Desams (Eleven Temples)
A cluster of eleven Vishnu temples around Thirunangur village that together form part of the 108 Divya Desams glorified in the Nalayira Divya Prabandham. All eleven were sanctified by Tirumangai Alvar, and the oldest date to the reign of the Chola king Parantaka I. Each has a distinct presiding deity, from Gopalakrishnan at Thirukkavalampadi to Vaikuntanathan at Thiruvaikunda Vinnagaram. Every year in the Tamil month of Thai the processional deities of all eleven gather here for the spectacular Garuda Sevai festival.
