One of 9 Nava Tirupati (Tirunelveli Vishnu cluster). Nammalvar-associated.
One of the 108 Divya Desams — temples sung in the Nālāyira Divya Prabandham (the "Four-Thousand Divine Hymns") by the 12 Alvars (6th–9th c. CE). The 108 Divya Desams include 106 earthly sites, plus 2 extra-cosmic realms (Paramapadam = Vaikuntha, and Tirupparkadal = the Milk-Ocean). Each Divya Desam has a Moolavar (sanctum deity), Utsavar (processional image), and a specific Alvar-mangalāśāsana dedication.
