2) Thiruppullanni - Sri Kalyana Jaganatha Perumal Temple

(Temple 4.00 onwards)

This divya desam is located on the Keela Karai Road and on the banks of river Sethu (SethuKarai, Ramanathapuram district).

King Dasaratha is believed to have performed a yagna (fire sacrifice) at this sthalam to beget his four sons. Lord Rama, on His way to Lanka, stopped and worshipped the presiding deity - Adi Jaganatha.

It was here, where Vibhishana (brother of Ravana) took refuge and surrendered to Lord Rama, Who preached saranagati - the doctrine of self surrender.

In the Sri Vaisnava Sampradaya, this episode - Vibhisana's surrender to Lord Rama is held just as important as Arjuna's surrender to Lord Krishna.
