Thamaraiyaal
Kelvan Perumal Temple or Thiruppaarthanpalli is located close to
Thirunangur, a small village, 8 km east of Sirkali en route to Thiruvenkadu and is dedicated to the
Hindu god Vishnu. Constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture, the temple is glorified in the Divya
Prabandha, the early medieval Tamil canon of the Azhwar saints from the 6th–9th centuries AD. It is one of
the 108 Divyadesam dedicated to Vishnu, who is worshipped as Thamaraiyaal
Kelvan and his consort Lakshmi as Sengamalavalli.
It is
one among the eleven divyadesams of Thirunangur Tirupathis and is closely associated with Thirumangai
Alvar. It is also the only
temple in the Nangur divyadesams to have revered by an azhwar other than
Thirumangai Alvar. As per Hindu legend, the temple tank for dug by Arjuna from the age of Mahabaratham. Krishna appeared as Parthasarathy to Arjuna here and
initiated his education, leading to the name of the temple.

temple is open from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m and has four daily
rituals at various times of the day. The Thirumangai Azhwar Mangalasasana
Utsavam celebrated annually during the Tamil month of Thai is the major festival of the
