Located about 3 kms South of Naachiyar Temple(about 15kms off Kumbakonam) is the Saaranaathan temple in ThiruCherai. This is part of the Krishnaaranya Kshetram and is between Naachiyaar koil and ThiruKannamangai Divya Desam. Brahmma who wanted to save the Vedas tried to preserve its contents in a mud pot. Every time, he tried making the pot, it broke down. He looked up to Vishnu for solution and was asked to go Thiru Cherai to collect the sand for the making of the pot. Detailed Sthala puranam can be read from the following link: Thirucherai Saranathan – Divyadesa Vaibhavam
Dear Bagavathas
Please read Durmuki Varusha Thai Brahmothsavam instead of Vijaya varusha.
