Sri Kudamadukoothan Perumal Temple (Thiru Arimeyavinnagaram)

Sri Kudamadukoothan Perumal Temple at Thiru Arimeyavinnagaram is one of the eleven Divya Desams in the Thirunangur cluster near Sirkazhi, praised by Thirumangai Azhwar in the Divya Prabandham. The deity's name "Kudamadukoothan" refers to Lord Krishna's legendary pot dance (Kudamadu Koothu), where He danced balancing pots on His head — a display of divine playfulness and supreme skill. The temple name "Arimeyavinnagaram" means "the celestial city of the lion-like Lord," combining Narasimha (Ari — lion) and Vinnagaram (celestial city) imagery. This dual identity reflects the Lord as both the playful Krishna and the fierce Narasimha. The temple participates in the grand Thirunangur Garuda Sevai procession each year.
