Thiru Anbil is an ancient divya desha (one of the 108 Vaishnava temples) located 2 kms from Koviladi (a village 16kms from Srirangam). It is glorified by Thirumazhisai Alwar in his hymns. Tradition associates the temple with Manduka Maharshi and Durvasa Muni. However, the early history of the temple is lost in antiquity.[1]

Location

The Thiru Anbil Divya Desa is about 20 kms from Trichirapalli and falls on the Tirichirapalli - Kumbakonam bus route. It is also accessible from the Lalgudi railway station.[1]

Legends

Talking of the legends associated with this Divya Kshetra, Prof. S. Narayanan says,

"Legend and history vie with each other in bringing out its sublime divinity and ethereal glory. The much hallowed kshetra is a treasure house for several puranas and myths."
