Koodal Azhagar temple, Madurai

After my brief visit to Rameswaram, I am staying for two days in Madurai. Today, I went to Madurai Meenakshi Temple and then to Thiru Koodal Azhagar temple, Madurai [அருள்மிகு கூடலழகர் திருக்கோயில், மதுரை].

Sri Koodal Azhagar temple is a South Indian Hindu temple in Madurai. It is believed that Koodal Azhagar had appeared to slay the demon Somuka who abducted the four Vedas. It is one of the 108 Divyadesam dedicated to God Sri Vishnu, who is worshipped as Viyooga Sundarrajan and his consort Lakshmi as Mathuravalli.
