Thirutholaivillimangalam, Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu · 8.6111°, 77.9722°
Two adjoining Vishnu temples on the Thamiraparani that together count as the single Divya Desam of Thirutholaivillimangalam, and belong to the Nava Tirupati group strung along the Tirunelveli–Tiruchendur route. Both shrines are praised in the Nalayira Divya Prabandham, notably by Nammalvar; their inscriptions name rulers between 1190 and 1345.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
A sage named Suprabha is said to have turned up a balance and a bow while ploughing here; the objects became a human couple whom Kubera had cursed, and the place took its name from them.
