Thiruvengadam is there (M75). Thirunarayanapuram is not there. Ramanuja restored the shrine after it had fallen into disuse. In fact, both the moolavar and utsavar images had been lost; the former was buried under the ground somewhere in Karnataka, and the latter was taken by a chieftain. Traditional histories say that a Muslim chieftain's daughter was so enthralled with the utsavar that he took it so she could see Him all the time. Thirunarayanapuram is reckoned as one of the primary "abhimaana" sthalams -- shrines that are not divyadesams, but are accorded great respect. Mani
