Nandhipura Vinnagaram
(Dakshana
Jagannatham)
The temple is located near Korukkai
which is near Kumbakonam.
The Moolavar is Jagannaathan, Naadhanaadhan,
Vinnagara Perumal seen in seated posture facing west. There is an
idol of Adhikaara Nandhi on the left side of the temple. Nandhi Bhagavan
is said to have done penance here to absolve of his sins & hence the
name Nandhipuram to the place. It is believed that Perumal was initially
facing east, but he turned west to see the generous sight of Sibi Chakravarty
giving his flesh for the sake of justice.
