Sri Senkanmaal Perumal Temple (Thiruthetriyambalam)

Sri Senkanmaal Perumal Temple at Thiruthetriyambalam 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 "Senkanmaal" means "the great Lord with beautiful red eyes (Sen Kan)," a beloved description of Vishnu in Azhwar poetry where His lotus-red eyes symbolize both compassion and cosmic power. The temple name "Thetriyambalam" refers to a hall of purity (Thettram — clarity/purity), suggesting a place of spiritual purification. The red-eyed form of the Lord is celebrated throughout the Divya Prabandham as the most captivating feature of divine beauty. This temple participates in the annual Thirunangur Garuda Sevai, one of the grandest Vaishnavite festivals in Tamil Nadu.
