This divya desam is situated in Uraiyur, the ancient Chola capital, now a part of Tiruchi;. Tirukkozhi is the birthplace of Tiruppaanalwar the author of Amalanadipiran (the celebrated paasuram describing the glory of the image of Ranganathar, at Srirangam). Azhagiya Manavalar (in a standing posture) facing north, with his consort Kamalavalli in the same sanctum in a seated posture are the presiding deities here.
