Sri Nitya kalyana Perumal Thiruvidanthai

This place is 55 kms from chennai and 5kms north of crocodile bank . This is one among the Thondanadu divyadeshams and near to Sthala sayana Perumal temple .

As per legends Kaalava Maharishi did deep penance worshipping Lord Vishnu . Lord Vishnu gave dharshan to him in this place and married his 360 daughters each day one in a year hence the urtsavar is known as NITYA KALYANA PERUMAL .


This place is also called Nithya Kalyana Puri, Sri Puri and Varaaha Puri. As the Lord merged 360 girls into one and appeared with the Goddess on his left on the last day, this place is called Thiru- Idanthai (Thiru-Goddess, Idanthai-left side), which in course of time became ThiruVidanthai.

Those having problems in getting married offer garlands to this temple priests he prays to this Lord and gives them the garland , wearing this garland they have to come around the Perumal along with Goddess Komalavalli and Andal sannidhi 9 times , doing this ritual is believed that they will get married soon .

The main deity is Lord Lakshmi Varaghar and his consort is komalavalli nachiyar .

Thirumangai alwar has sung praising this Lord .Click here for pictures
