Thirunangur, Tamil Nadu · 11.1769°, 79.7825°
One of the eleven Divya Desams clustered at Thirunangur near Sirkazhi, closely associated with Thirumangai Alvar, where Krishna is worshipped as Gopalakrishnan with Rukmini and Satyabhama.
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.
Krishna and Satyabhama are said to have kept a garden at this spot, where the god once saved an elephant - the kavalam of its name.
