Dear Srimathi GeethA Rangarajan:

Location of the Dhivya Desam 
*****************************
This dhivya dEsam is one of the thriteen MalayALa
Naattu dhivya dEsam .It is one mile from the village
of PattAmbi in today's Kerala .It is on the road from
GuruvAyoor to ShOranoor , some ten miles from 
Shoranoor. Locally it is called ThirumitthirakkOdu.
The worship is not with VaishNava Aagamams , but
Taantrikam . PerumAL stands facing South (Uyaavantha
perumAL and ThAyAr is VitthuvakkOttu Valli).VimAnam is
Tatthva Kaanchana VimAnam. Only KulasEkara AzhwAr
has sung about this PerumAL.

I will cover the significance of these Paasurams
in another posting.
