Saptha Vidanga Sthalangal
According to legend, a Chola king named Musukuntha obtained a boon from Indra (a celestial deity) and wished to receive the image of Thyagaraja Swamy worshipped by Indra. Indra, not willing to give the image being worshipped by him, tried to misguide the king and had six other images made and asked Musukuntha to choose what he wanted. But the king chose the right image and Lord Indira gave the original and 6 other Thyagarajar images to the king. The king installed the original image at Tiruvarur, and the other six images were installed in Thirunallaru, Nagapattinam, Tirukarayil, Tirukolili, Thiruvaaimur and Tirumaraikadu. These 7 temples are collectively referred as Saptha Vidanga Sthalangal.
