 HISTORY OF THE TEMPLE  

  Thiruneermali is one of the important Town Panchayat in Kancheepuram District and is very famous for the presents of a number of Sree Aranganatha .             (300 Feet height). Temple architecture found at  Thiruneermalai.

 Among the various temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu, there are 108 temples which are designated to be DIVYA DESAMS.  These are actually the places worshipped and sung by Ahlwars, the saintly poets who immersed themselves in the divine ocean of Lord Vishnu.  Their whole life was devoted to the  the 12 Alwars had

    

Thus, 106 temples have been addressed by the Tamil Alwars, who were pillars of the Sri Vaishnava tradition that was to evolve in Tamilnadu. The contrast in the nature of these temples is stunning, given the diversity in the Indian subcontinent. Even a virtual visit  to these 106 shrines across the nation, is quite an experience, and is illustrative of this contrast, given the difference in the nature of temples in the various regions such as the Kaveri basin,  Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, the Tirunelveli region, the Gangetic plains and the Himalayas.   

 It is said that once Thirumangai Alwar came here to get the Dharshan of the Perumal. At that time, the mountain was fully s urrounded by water and he waited for six months to worship the Perumal. After all the water drained, he went up the mountain and worshipped the Perumal. The place where Thirumangai Alwar stayed is called as \"Thiru Mangai Alwarpuram\".

 

In this temple, muni Valmiki worshipped Eari Kidantha (aranganathan), Iruntha (Narasimar), Nandantha (Thiruvikraman) Kola seva of the Perunmal. After worshipping all the e sevas, he came down from the mountain to worship lord Rama, Knowing this lord Vishnu gae darshan as Sri Ramar and Lakshmi Piratti as Seetha and Aadisesha as lakshman and Sangu and chakram as Baratha Chatrukanan, Lorad Vigneshwar as Sugreev and Garudan as Hanuman.
