Divya Desam

These are the Sri Vaishnava temples that the Alvars (saints) have sung praises (mangalasasanam). There are 108 divya desams and only 106 are in this material world.

As there are a many online sites providing information and images of the divya desams. This topic attempts to provide some rare information on these temples and also explore the less known divya desams.

1) Thiruppullam Boothankudi - Sri Valvil Ramar Perumal Temple, Kumbakonam

This divya desam is situated in Tanjore district Tamil Nadu. 3 miles away from Swami Malai (famous Murugan Temple).

This is where Sri Rama performed the final funeral rites for Jadayu (the Eagle bird). This sthalam takes its name "Pull" from the Eagle clan of Jatayu.

1 and 1/2 Km. from here, is a small village, Mandanggudi which is the birth place of Thondar Adi Podi Alwar.
