This is one of the Azhwar Nava Tirupathi. Kubera who lost the Nava Nidhis (nine types of wealth) due to a curse of Parvati, prayed to the Lord here. The Lord appeared and restored the wealth to Kubera. At the request of Nava Nidhis, the Lord accepted the name Nikshepavvitthan (Vyttha Manidhi). This place is also called the Adharma Pishunam as Dharma( who resides here praying the Lord ) defeated Adharma.

History : The Lord is in Bhujanga sayanam with his head supported by his left hand as if he is looking at us.
This is the avatara sthalam of Madurakavi azhwar.Swami Manavala Mamunigal has composed a mangalasasanam for this kshetram. Nammazhwar has described this kshetram as the shining star on the forehead of the Southern direction (Then-thisaith thilada manaiya thirukko loorrkke) in his 6 pasuram of his aaram pathu.

Approach : On the way from Thenthirupperai to azhwar thirunagri after a distance of approximately 2.5 kms from Thenthirupperai one should travel about a kilometer towards the south from there to reach Tirukkoloor Divya Desam.There are no facilities available here.
