Sri Parthasarathy Temple (Divya Desam)
This is one of the 108 Divya desams. The name of the place came from the term – Allikkeni , meaning the temple tank of Alli flowers called Kairavinisaras. Per Legend, Thiruvengadamudayan gave dharshan as Krishnan to Chola king Sumathirajan per his request and so the deity is called Venkatakrishnan and the vigraha was installed by Attreya maharishi . The main deity is in the form of charioteer and so has a big moustache and the whole family of Krishnar – consort Rukmani , elder brother Balaramar , younger brother Satyaki , son Pradhyumna and grandson Anirudha are present in main shrine which can not be seen anywhere else. Since Krishnar promised not to take any weapons in His hands during the Mahabharatha war , He is seen here with Sangu only ( without the Chakra ) . The Utsava vigraham bears scars supposed to be from the arrows of Bheeshmar , when he was the charioteer to Arjuna in the Mahabharatha war .
The special significance of the temple being that the perumals of the 5 divya desams – Thirupathi Venkatesa Perumal , Srirangam Ranganathar , Kancheepuram Varadarajar , Ahobilam Narasimhar and Ayodhi Ramar – are present in separate shrines . As a rarity there are two dwajasthambams one for Sri Parathasarathy and the other for Sri Narasimhar. Also during Brahmosthavams, the temple car will run twice.
Ramanujar’s father AasuriKesavacharyar conducted a yagna here and got Ramanujar as his son. Thyagarajar, Muthuswamy Dhikshithar and Bharathiar lived here. Viveknandhar has also visited this temple.
