Sri Valvil Ramar Perumal Temple

Sri Valvil Ramar Perumal Temple is one of the 108 Vishnu temples, located near Kumbakonam, Tamilnadu. Bhomi Pirattiyar representing one of the five Panchabhootas, Earth, gives dharshan along with Sri Ramar as Narayanan in Nindra Thirukkolam here. Hence the name called as “Pullam Boothan Kudi at this temple. The temple has a small shrine with Vimanam and 3-tier rajagopuram. The temple tank is located north of the temple.

Sri Ramar born and brought up as an ordinary human being met Lord Parasuramar (Previous avathaar). After performing the rituals for “Jatayu”, who tried to save Goddess Sita, Sri Ramar took rest. This temple reflects the position of Moolavar as though taking rest. As Goddess Sita Devi was not present, Sri Ramar did all the rituals along with Bhoomi Devi. So Bhoomi Piratti is in a sitting posture along with Moolavar Sri Valvil Ramar. Also there is a separate temple for Bhoomi Devi Natchiar in this temple. The name of Thayar is “Potramarayal”.

Kiruthrajan was doing meditation (tapas) here at Thirupulla Bhothangudi keeping Lord Vishnu in his heart and mind. Lord Vishnu was very much impressed upon his tapas and gave Dharshan as Valvil Raman in Bujangha Sayanam. Since, the Theertham which purified Kiruthrarajan, the theertham here is called “Kiruthra theertham”.

Festivals:

Sri Rama Navami, Vaikunda Ekadasi are festivals mainly celebrated here.
