Tiruppullani

Darbhasayana is directly associated with Sri Rama lying on darbha grass before the ocean-crossing episode, making Tiruppullani a distinct Ramayana Kshetra. 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: Sri Rama is traditionally said to have lain on darbha grass here while seeking the ocean's cooperation before the construction of Rama Setu. 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: Adi Jagannatha Temple, Darbhasayana Rama, Setukkarai.
