Vanamamalai Perumal Temple, Nanguneri, Tirunelveli District, Tamil Nadu

The Vanamamalai Perumal Temple, nestled gently on the fertile banks of the Thamiraparani, stands as a beacon of spirituality in Nanguneri. Here, Lord Vishnu presides as Vanamamalai Perumal, flanked lovingly by his consorts, Sridevi and Bhoodevi. It's not just another temple, but one of the 108 Divya Desams and a rare Swayambu Kshetra, where the Lord himself has chosen to reside.
