Arulmigu Parimala Ranganathar Thirukovil Divya Desam-26 - Hindu temple in Thiruindalur - Mayiladuthurai, India

This Vishnu temple is filled with history and devotion and divinity. Each pillar has stone carvings. The different avatars of Lord Vishnu can be seen on the temple pillars. There is a Goshala also within the temple premises. We reached at 6am and the temple timing also says 6am but the temple was opened only after 6.30 am and it took us another 15 minutes before we could see Lord Vishnu.

This is a must visit temple, if you want to dwell and appreciate the architecture.. Every pillar is carved with beautiful statues depicting ramayana and other Vishnu avatars.. Fantastic place for people who want to appreciate architecture apart from religious beliefs.. The only problem is there's none to explain the significance or nuances of statues..

Very old temple of Ranganathar along with Lakshmi in the banks of Cauvery near myladuthurai. One of the Divya temple

Parimala Ranganathar Temple is one of the Divya Desams of Lord Vishnu and is located in the Town of Mayiladuthurai. Here you can fine Lord Vishnu in the form where he is lying down. This is a really old temple with beautiful sculptures. There were drawings made out of "Kolam" when we visited the temple. It is easily accessible from the Railway station/ Bus stand. There is so much space and very limited maintenance done and I believe that's mainly because of the lack of Financial support this temple has received.

I went during Adi masam. So thelord was covered with thaila kaapu. Very beautiful lord. His avatarams depicted in different pillars were also given thaila kaapu. So they were double beautiful. People who enjoy carvings can spend the whole day here.

Perumal is Huge and can have Darshanam for how much ever time you want. One of the 108 Divya Desams and we have Indhu theertham

It is the 26th Perumal Temple of Divyadesham series. We started from our hotel at Sirkali around 5:30am and reached by 6am. The temple was open by that time. We had a nice darshan and Puja. Many stalls of flowers and other things available outside. It's a huge temple and superb architecture inside. How beautifully things are curved and made. Just awestruck. It is easily accessible via main road.

For the first time I visited this temple with my friend. There was no crowd when we entered into this temple. This temple is the 22nd divya desam of 108 Divya desam.
