Koodal Azhagar Temple

About Koodal Azhagar Temple

The Koodal Azhagar Temple IS one of the 108 Divya Desams, the most sacred Vishnu temples of South India, perched ON the oldest hillock of Madurai. Its history stretches back to the early centuries of the common era. The temple IS celebrated for its beautiful bronze sculptures AND a rare three-posture sanctum image of Vishnu that represents standing, sitting AND reclining forms. A daily processional ritual adds to the temple's living spiritual life. For devotees AND heritage lovers alike, Koodal Azhagar offers a peaceful, deeply sacred experience AND a different spiritual face of Madurai beyond the great Meenakshi temple.
