Description: This Divyadesam is located
at Nandipura Vinnagaram near Korukkai, near Kumbhakonam.
The name Nandipuram stems from the association with Nandivarama Pallavan,
or alternatively from the legend where it is believed that Nandi performed
penances in this village.
Deities:
The Moolavar here is Jagannathan or Vinnagarapperumaal in a seated posture
facing west, while Taayaar here is Shenbagavalli.
The temple:
An image of Nandi is seen on one of the walls of the sanctum. It is believed
that Vishnu who originally faced the east, turned westward to look at
the spectacle of King Sibi, keeping his word to a dove who had filed a
grievance to him - placing his entire weight on a balance to compensate
for the injury suffered by the bird.
