This Temple is also called as Nindra Narayana Perumal Kovil and its located in Thiruthankaal. It is also called by some as Sri Thiruthangalappan Perumal Kovil. The Presiding Deity is an incarnation of Maha Vishnu. The Temple is situated in a slightly elevated place and Devotees may have to climb around 15 steps to reach there. It is one among the 108 Dhivya Desam and was highly praised and sung by the Alwars in Naalayira Divya Prabhandham. The Presiding Deity is Nindra Narayana Perumal who is found in a standing posture facing East. The Goddess is Sengamala Thayaar who is also known here by Her other names Annanayagi, Amirthanayagi, Aanandhanayagi and Jambavathi. There is a Shrine for Lord Ranganathar who is seen in a reclined posture. Thereby the Temple becomes very unique since Perumal can be seen in all the three Kolam here viz. Nindra Kolam, Sayana Kolam and Veetrirundha Kolam. Unlike most other Temples the Presiding Deity of Nindra Narayana Perumal and His Consort Sengamala Thaayar are both in a standing posture in their respective Shrines. The Temple is unique in the sense it does not have any Rajagopuram. Apart from them there are Sub Shrines for Lord Garudalwar, Lord Anjaneya, Aandal, Sage Markandeyar. The speciality of this Temple is that Lord Garuda is found with four arms. He is found holding a Snake in one arm and His other arm is found holding a Nectar Pot or Amirtha Kalasam. His other two arms are found folded. It was the Pandiya Kings who built this Temple but in the later years to come the Vijayanagara Kings took keen interest in this Temple and took it to the next level. Basakara Theertham, Papanasa Theertham and Arjuna Nadhi are the Three Theerthams here. Many Devotees who are found to have Brahmahathi Dhosham come here to get rid of it since it is a Brahmmahathi Dosha Parihaara Sthalam. Brahmothsavam, Vasanthothsavam, Aadipooram, Vaikunda Egadhasi and Navaraathri are celebrated in a grand manner.
