Tamil Nadu, India

Also known as: திருவேளுக்கைతిరువేళుక్కై

Tiruvelukkai located in Kanchipuram in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu. Constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture, the temple is glorified in the Nalayira Divya Prabandham, the early medieval Tamil canon of the Alvar saints from the 6th–9th centuries CE. It is one of the 108 Divya Desams dedicated to Vishnu, who is worshipped as Aḻagiya Singar (Narasimha) and his consort Lakshmi as Amruthavalli. This is the smallest divyadesam in Kanchipuram, however Vedanta Desika wrote a kamasikashtakam on this perumal.[2]
