Kazheesirama Vinnagaram

Kazheesirama Vinnagaram, Hindu temple in Sirkazhi, India.

Kazheesirama Vinnagaram is a temple in Sirkazhi with a three-tiered Rajagopuram entrance gate and three main shrine chambers. These are dedicated to the deities Trivikrama, Loganyagi, and Andal and form the religious heart of the site.

The temple is believed to have been built by the Cholas, with later contributions from the Medieval Cholas, the Vijayanagara kings and the Madurai Nayaks. Tradition credits the poet-saint Thirumangai Alvar with constructing it after an old woman handed him the idol she had kept in a pot of rice. It is glorified in the Nalayira Divya Prabandham, the Tamil canon of the Alvar saints of the 6th to 9th centuries.

The temple is one of the 108 Divya Desams, praised in the Nalayira Divya Prabandham by the poet-saint Thirumangai Alvar in a hymn of the Thirunedunthandagam. Local tradition holds that women who worship Lokanayagi, the consort, will show affection toward their husbands. The festival Brahmotsavam is held in the Tamil month of Vaikasi.

The temple stands in Thadalan Kovil, Sirkazhi, within concentric brick walls entered through a three-tiered Rajagopuram. Inside, the sanctum is reached past a flagpost, altar and two halls, the Mahamandapa and Ardhamandapa; the Chakra Tirtham tank lies behind the main shrine. The Lokanayagi shrine sits in the north-western corner and the Andal shrine in the opposite corner.

The processional idol of Tadalan is brought out only on Vaikuntha Ekadasi, not daily. The name Tadalan means 'the one who measured the land', recalling Thirumangai Alvar's debate victory over Sambandar. The main stone idol shows Trivikrama balancing on one leg with the left leg raised high.
