Adi Jagannatha Perumal Temple, Thirupullani – Chakra Theertham

Adi Jagannatha Perumal Temple, Thirupullani – Chakra Theertham
The temple tank of Adi Jagannatha Perumal Temple, Thirupullani deserves special mention. It is known as the Chakra theertham. It is also one of Theerthams associated with Ramanathaswamy Temple, Rameswaram. In contrast to most temple tanks of today, this tank is filled to the brim with clear water – a heartwarming sight indeed.


According to old-timers, about two decades back, this temple tank was almost dry, with just a few puddles of wet mud here and there. Thanks to the efforts of Srimad Andavan, this tank has been restored to its original glory. Even in the current times, it is possible to preserve nature – if only man realizes the value of this activity.



Adjacent to the vast theertham, neatly maintained Sannidhi for Swami Desikan can be seen.
