Temple's Speciality:
While traditionally temples have only one swayambumurthy, this is one with 11 Swayambumurthis – Lord Thothadri Nathar in the sanctum sanctorum, Mother Sridevi and Bhoodevi, Sun, Moon, Maharshis Brugu and Markandeya, dancers of the celestial world Uruvasi and Thilothama. Of the 8 Vishnu Swayambumurthis, the one in Badrinath in north is covered by fog for six months. Here, the Lord is available for the devotees throughout the year. Gingelly oil abishek is performed to Lord Thotadrinathar throughout the year.
General Information:
The vimana-tower above the sanctum is of Nandavardana design. Lord Brahmma, Indira, king of Sindhu, Garuda Baghwan, Urvasi, Thilothama were blessed with the darshan of Lord in the temple.
Greatness Of Temple:
The place came to be known as Naguneri meaning surrounded by four lakes. This is one of the 108 Divya Desas of Perumal. This is the only temple where Perumal graces with His royal attire in Durbar with Mothers Sridevi and Bhoodevi. One of Lord’s hands point to His feet and the other on His lap as an assurance that the devotee surrendering at His feet will have a place on His lap. Perumal also holds the Prayoga Chakra. Those worshipping the Chakra will have no enemies at all in life.
It is said that the procession idol of Mother was originally in Tirupathi. Devotees in Tirupati were to offer Varamangadevi to Sri Venkateswara in Tirupati. Perumal appeared in the dream of Jeer Swamigal and said that Varamangadevi was meant to Lord Vanamamalai in Nanguneri, therefore taken to this place. The headquarters of Vanamamalai Jeer, one among the Ashtathik Gajas – Eight pontiffs of Vaishnava order – by saint Manavala Mamunigal is here.
Temple History:
When Lord Vishnu destroyed the demons, Madhu and Kaidaba, the bad odour from their body spread polluting the whole earth. Mother Earth lost Her natural purity. She came to this place for cleansing. Lord appeared before Bhoomadevi (Earth) and said, “pollution set on you is washed off” according to history of the place-sthala purana.
