History
|
The temple at Maduramangalam, the birthplace of Embaar, is more than a 1000 years old and is said to have been built by a Thondaimandala king called Suparna. This is Nethra Parihara Sthalam. The deity is Sri Vaikunta Perumal and there is a separate sannidhi for Kamalavalli Thayar. The utsavamurthi is the aradhanamurthi of Embaar. Sri Embaar is believed to be an incarnation of Garuda, for which reason the pushkarini is called Garuda Pushkarini. The villagers firmly believe that poisonous snakes will not harm them. |
