Vishnu.
The Divya Desams revered
by the Alwars in Vishnu Kanchi are Attigiri (the vast
Varadaraja Perumal temple), Ashtabuyakaram, Tiruttankaa, Tiruvelukkai
and Tiruvegkaa, while those in Shiva Kanchi are

are the Kamakshiamman and the Kanda Kottam temples.
Deities:
There is no Moolavar here. Jagadeeswarar is the name of the Utsavar (mentioned
in one paasuram by Tirumangaialwar) while Taayaar here is Nilamangaivalli.
In a verse referring
to Kachi Oorakam and Tiruvegkaa (both

Nilattingal Tundam, Kaarakam, Kaarvaanam
and Kalva(nur). Nilattingal Tundam is
a shrine in the Kanchi Ekambreswarar temple, Neerakam,
Kaarakam and Kaarvaanam are shrines in the Ulagalanda Perumaal
temple (Oorakam). Kalvanoor is the name of the shrine to Vishnu
(Aadi Varaha Perumaal) in the Kanchi Kamakshi Amman temple.
