Yesterday I went to a temple called Nithyakalyana Perumal temple. The second picture is one found on the hundi.
It is on the old Mahabalipuram road and it is about 1000 years old.
It should have been built at the same time as that of Mahabhalipuram.
Here Perumal, in His Boar incarnation, (Varaha avatharam) holds Lakshmi on his lap, on His left side, and glances at her lovingly, with his face turned towards her, towards East. Hence the place is also called Thiruvidaventhai or Thiruvidanthai (thiru -- lakshmi; ida-left; venthai - Lord or King). Other names used to refer to this place include: Asura Kala Nalloor; Varahapuri, Vaamagaveepuri.
The Lord is considered to be bvery powerful in His ability to bless people with the matrimonial state. That is the of specialty the temple – anyone, whether boy or girl, who is not married -- comes here with two garlands. One is for the perumal and the other is for those who want to marry. This person has to wear and go around the temple nine times and pray for the event. They return home and soon, blessed with the holy state of matrimony, the person is believed to get married. he or she returns to the temple with spouse and they offer thanks to Him.
Thirumangai Azhwar has written 13 pasurams on this temple and the lord.
We went on one Sunday and within an hour’s time there were about 1000 people on the queue.
