வைஷ்ணவ நம்பி மற்றும் திருக்குறுங்குடிவல்லி நாச்சியார் கோவில்
Thirukkurungudi, Tamil Nadu · 8.4363°, 77.5657°
The 'Dakshina Vaikuntam' Divya Desam at the foot of the Western Ghats, recorded in medieval Chola inscriptions from the 10th century onward. It is the home of the Kaisika Natakam temple-theatre tradition and of Arayar Sevai recital worship.
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.
The Kaisika legend tells of the singer Nambaduvan, whose devotional song freed a demon of its curse while Nambi himself appeared to honour the humble devotee.
