Thiruccheerivaramangai - Sri Thothadrinatha Perumal Temple, Vaanamaamalai - Divyadesam
Sthlapuranam :
This sthalam is also named Naanguneri, Seeravaramangai, and Vaanama malai. Since there are 4 big Lakes in this sthalam, this sthalam is named "Naangu Neri". (Naangu means four). But at present only one is found. This sthalam is one of the Ashta (eight) suyambhu (Which grows (or)develops on its own) sthalams. Other seven sthalams are Badri Narayanam, Mukthi Narayanam, Naimisaranyam, Pushkaram, Tiruvenkadam, Sri Mushnam, and Thiru Varaagam.
It is said that the Moolasthanam was immersed in to the lake water. Even if the lake is flooded with water, there will be around 2 feet high of water around the Garbhagriham (Moolasthanam).
Inside this sthalam an oil well of 25 feet height and 15 feet width. The well doesn't have water but has rich oil, which extracts oil instead of water. The oil which is found in the well is said to have the medicinal values and said that it cures many diseases. Daily, the Emperumaan of this sthalam is done the thirumanjanam using 6 padis (1 padi= around 1 1/2 Kgs) of Gingely oil and Sandal wood oil. After the thirumanjanam is over, the oils are poured into the well itself.
If any devotee needs some amount of oil from the well, they must give the same amount of gingely oil to the devastanam and it is poured into the well and given the medicinal oil.
To get the Aathma Gnanam, Aathma Arul (blessing) and Aathma Bhakthi, the permanent soul (or) Aathma which reside on the temporary body should be clean and purified. Having this as cleared only, we get to achieve all other things. Out body, speech and activity should be clean. Old age is the caution for death and it is the final action for the free of our soul. Till the soul is in our body, it should be without any harm and diseases and should be clean. To explain this, the Emperumaan of this sthalam gives his Seva and also gives the oil which cures many diseases.
So bhaktas who worship this sthalam can get the dharshan of the Emperumaan and also the curable oil.
This sthala Perumal gave his prathyaksham to Indiran, Romasa Maharishi, Brighu Muni, and Maarkandeya Maharishi. He gave his sev to these four great aathmas as "Aadhi Maruthuvan" (Maruthuvan means doctor). The persons who has the diseases are given the treatment by facing him towards East-west direction. In the same way, the Perumal Thothatri Nathan gives his Seva facing his thirumugam towards the east direction.
It is said that a king who belonged to the Sindhu empire got the sabham from Romasa Maharishi to become like a dog. After becoming the dog, the king came to this sthalam and took a bath in the sthala pushkarani to get out of the Sabham.
On the entrance of the Temple is the Pandhal Mandapam and along the side, we can find very big mandapams where Golden Chariot and Golden Chapparam (another kind of Perumal's Vaaganam) are kept. These are taken out during the utsavam done in Panguni Uthiram. On the north side, we can find the Vaanamamalai Jeeyar Madam.
When entering the main temple, we can find Sevvanthi Mandapam which is built by Sevvanthi Naayakar. In this mandapam only, the utsavar gives his seva during utsava times. On the left side of this mandapam, we can find Veerappa Naayakkar mandapam, in which all the pillars are beautifully sculptured with numerous shapes. When passing through this mandapam, sannadhis for Lakshmi Narayanan, Lakshmi Varagar, Venugopalan, and Dasavatharam are found.
