02-09-2012. SUNDAY. 

I was fortunate enough to have the darshan of Sri Veeranarayana Perumal of KattumannarKoil, when I went for the darshan of Paadal petra Shiva Sthalangal, near Kattumannarkoil.

It is the avathara sthalam  of Nathamuni and his grandson Alavandar. As per the Sri Veeranarayana Perumal's instruction Nathamuni collected back to this world all the verses of nalayira divya prabandham written by alwars, which were lost. The temple is facing east, with a tank in front. It is said that Veeranam lake is named after this Perumal.
