History & tradition
Vedarajan Temple is in Thirunagari, 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 Vedarajan and Lakshmi as Amruthavalli. The place is believed to be the birthplace of Thirumangai Alvar, one of the twelve Alvars. A granite wall encloses the shrines, the entrance is through a seven-tiered rajagopuram, and the temple tank lies in the street leading from the eastern gateway.
