SRIVILLIPUTHUR ANDAL TEMPLE

This temple is devoted to Lord Vishnu and was constructed by the Nayak Kings. The temple is located in Srivilliputhur (46 km from Virudhunagar town) in the district of Virudhunagar. Every year, thousands of devotees visit Virudhunagar just to offer their prayers and seek blessings of the Almighty at this temple. This temple, dedicated to the revered Andal, is one of the 108 Divya Desams dedicated to Lord Vishnu, who is worshipped as Vadabadrasai, and his consort Goddess Lakshmi as Andal. It is believed to be the birthplace of two of the Alvars, namely Periyalvar and his foster daughter, Andal. The temple is a true marvel of architectural brilliance. Its towering gopuram, decorated with intricate carvings and paintings, serves as a testament to the skill and creativity of the ancient artisans who built it.
