| The Alvar Tirunagari Temple is dedicated to Lord Adinatha - the first Jain Thirthankara. It is visited by devotees who come from far and away as it is one of the renowned and historical Vaishnavaite temples in India.
A tree has been enshrined here. The Saint Namalvar attained enlightenment while sitting under this very tree. As part of his offering, he had sung devotional compositions that had been written in praise of the Alvar Tirunagari Temple.
There is also a musical wind instrument instrument called nadaswaram in the temple. Made out of stone, the nadaswaram is played during pujas and temple festivals. |
