Thiruvattar

Sri Vadirajaru includes Tiruvattar in the Dakshina Prabandha and praises the sacred place and/or its presiding deity, Sri Adikesava Perumal. The reference is retained here in the sequence of Sri Vadirajaru's pilgrimage so that a pilgrim can connect the present-day sacred place with the Kshetra or Tirtha praised in the Tirtha Prabandha.

Sthala Purana: Thiruvattar is the ancient Adikesava Kshetra where Sri Adikesava reclines on Adishesha within a river-bound sacred geography. The place continues to be approached as a sacred destination in its regional pilgrimage tradition. The present guide therefore focuses on the principal deity, tirtha or sacred feature that a pilgrim can identify and visit today, without treating later local traditions as though every detail were stated by Sri Vadirajaru.

Places to See in the Kshetra: Adikesava Perumal Temple, surrounding river sacred geography.
