Sri Ulagalantha Perumal or Sri Thiruvikrama Swamy Temple, Thirukovilur, Tamil Nadu

  • Sri Ulagalantha Perumal  or Sri Thiruvikrama Swamy Temple, Thirukovilur, Tamil Nadu

This Temple is located in Thirukovilur. The Presiding Deity is Ulagalantha Perumal, an incarnation of Maha Vishnu. His Consort is known by as Sri Poongoval Nachiyar and She has a separate Shrine. The entire Ceiling and Pillars leading to the Thaayar Sannadhi is gorgeously painted. The Temple has got two names 1) Ulagalandha Perumal Temple and 2) Tiiruvikrama Swamy Temple. This Temple is one among the 108 Divya Desam. It was built during the early Chola period with later contributions coming from Vijayanagara Rulers and Madurai Nayakars. Saints Poigai Alwar, Bhoothath Alwar, Perialwar and Thirumangai Alwar have sung about this Temple.  The Deity is made of Tharu Wood and is so tall that no other Temple could match it. Sri Krishna or Sri Venugopala Swamy made of Saligrama Stone has a separate Shrine here. Shrines for Sri Anjaneya, Sri Lakshmi Narayanan, Sri Lakshmi Varahar, Sri Thirukachi Nambi, Sri Desikan and Sri Emberumanar too exists. Vishnu Durgai which is generally seen in Shiva Temples has a Sub Shrine here. Devotees can make use of the Thulaa Baaram (Weighing Scales)  here to give their Offering. The Temple follows the Thenkalai Sampradayam. The Vimanam is Srikara Vimanam and the Sthala Viruksham is a Punnai Maram. There are two Gopurams with a Chariot found near the front Gopuram. Maasi Magam, Purattasi Uthsavam, Navarathri and Krishna Jayanthi attract lots of Devotees. There are several shops around the Temple. It is a sorry state of affairs that there is absolutely very little parking available near the Temple.
