Naanmadiya Perumal temple - The presiding Deity is the Hindu god Vishnu. It is one of the Divya Desams, the 108 temples of Vishnu revered by the 12 poet saints, or Alwars. The Lord of this Divyadesa temple is praised in the Mangalasasanam hymn of Tirumangai Azhwar. In this Divyadesa temple, Perumal appears with crescent moon on His head as Lord Shiva facing east and in a standing form. Hence, the name of Perumal is Nanmadhia Perumal and Chandra Shaba Harar, one who released Chandra from his curse. The Vimana-tower above the sanctum sanctorum is known as Chandra Vimanam. Those facing adverse aspects of planet Moon are advised to come to this temple and worship Lord and Mother for relief.
