Thirukoilur is famous as it was here that the Divya prabandham was first composed. the first three alwars met here and sang the glories of the Lord here. thus shedding the darkness of the whole world.
The Vishnu temple here is very big. Bronze idols of the first three alwars are in the Garbhagriha. the area where the temple is located has been known previously as the headquarters of the Malayaman chieftains who were known for their valour, generosity and love for literature. VD wrote Dehalisa Stuti in this temple. the temple also has a idol of Durga here. Neivedhyam is performed to her also after the Lord and thayar even today.
the Moolavar is Thrivikrama where the right leg is lifted to measure the entire heavens. the lord is facing east the utsavar is known as Ayanar and Gopala. the thayar is Poongovai Nachiyar, theerthams are plenty Pennai river, Krishna Theertham, chakra theertham, Srikara Vimanam. God appeared to Balichakravarthy, Mirusandu rishi, Brahma, Sounaka Rishi, Kasyapa Rishi, Kalava Rishi, Kusadwaja King and of course to the first three alwars. so the stories also are equal in no. The temple is one among the pancha Krishna Kshetrams and is managed by Thirukoilur Sri 'Emberumanar Jeer Swamy. Famous interesting stories are connected to this temple and the appearance of the Lord to a host of devotees, who requested him to stay on and bless pilgrims to the place. Important Siva temple is also found close by. with as interesting a history as the one for this temple.
