History & tradition
The Azhagiyasingar Temple is in Thiruvali, a village in the Mayiladuthurai district of Tamil Nadu. It is one of the 108 Divya Desams praised by the Alvar saints; Vishnu is worshipped here as Azhagiyasingar and Lakshmi as Purnavalli. The temple is believed to have been built first by the Cholas, with additions by the Vijayanagara and Thanjavur Nayak kings in the 16th century. A granite wall encloses its shrines. Tradition says the deity appeared at this place to Thirumangai Alvar, and the temple’s legend is closely tied to that saint’s life.
