Arimeya Vinnagaram Temple

Arimeya Vinnagaram Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu located in Thirunangur village near Sirkazhi in Mayiladuthurai district, Tamil Nadu. It is one of the 108 Divya Desams and one of the eleven Thirunangur Tirupathis revered in the Nalayira Divya Prabandham. The temple enshrines Kudamadukoothan Perumal with consort Amudha Kadal Nayaki and exhibits Dravidian architecture with traditional gopuram and shrines.

Visitors can expect a compact Dravidian-style temple complex in the rural village setting of Thirunangur with a small gopuram, pillared mandapam and sanctum enshrining Kudamadukoothan Perumal in sitting posture. The temple is typically visited as part of the Thirunangur Divya Desam circuit. The surroundings are quiet and agrarian, with simple temple precincts for darshan, circumambulation and viewing traditional architecture and iconography.

The temple exhibits Dravidian architecture and is traditionally associated with the Medieval Chola period with later contributions. It is glorified in the Nalayira Divya Prabandham by Thirumangai Alvar (8th-9th century), which establishes its antiquity as a Divya Desam. It is counted among the eleven Thirunangur Tirupathis linked to the legend of Thirumangai Alvar and Kumudavalli.

The temple is one of the 108 Divya Desams sacred to Sri Vaishnavism and one of the eleven Thirunangur Tirupathis. The presiding deity is worshipped as Kudamadukoothan Perumal with goddess Amudha Kadal Nayaki. It is an important stop during the Thirunangur Garuda Sevai festival held annually in January-February when festival deities from all eleven temples are brought together.
