| The temple sthalam at Naachiyar Koil, Tirunaraiyur is one of the 108 divya desams of Hindus . The place is very close to the temple town of Kumbakonam in Thanjavur district. The main deity here is Lord Vishnu in the form of Srinivasar and his consort Vanchulavalli thaayaar. This temple was built by Ko Chenkannan the Chola King, at the place where they married, according to the legend. In this temple Nachiyar (thayar) gets the primary importance. Devotees will be able to see that Vishnu stays at an arm's length from Thayar. Other speciality of this temple is Kal Garudar which is the vahana for this temple. Here Garudar has the capability to cure the Navagraha doshas. As legend says, Garudar increases weight during Purapaadu (procession). Near the sanctum, the procession starts with 4 people lifting Garuda and the number of people keep doubling up as the procession proceeds. Nachchirar koil: This divya desam is 10 Km from Kumbakonam and 6 Km from Oppiliappan koil. Plenty of Town buses are available from both Kumbakonam and Oppiliappan koil.
