Ramanathaswamy Temple, Thirunaraiyur

Ramanathaswamy Koil at Thirunaraiyur or Nachiar Koil is popular for Saneeswaran who is present here with his two wives and two sons. Ramanathaswamy temple lies between the Thirunaraiyur Nambi temple or Kal Garudan temple and Siddhanathar temple. Thus it is situated between a Divya Desam and a Padal Petra Sthalam. The legend goes that King Dasaratha was once ruling the entire world.

He asked Dasaratha to prevent it. Click here to read more…
