Thiruthetriyambalam, or Palli Konda Perumal Temple, stands in Tirunangur near Sirkaḻi in Tamil Nadu and is dedicated to Vishnu, worshipped here as Palli Konda Perumal. Built in the Dravidian architectural style, it ranks among the 108 Divya Desams—the most sacred Vishnu temples in Hindu tradition—and was celebrated by the Alvar saints in the Nalayira Divya Prabandham, a foundational Tamil religious text from the 6th–9th centuries. The temple is one of eleven Divya Desams in Tirunangur and is closely linked to Tirumangai Alvar, while also being uniquely revered by another poet-saint in its group. According to Hindu legend, the temple tank was excavated by Arjuna, and Krishna appeared here as Parthasarathy to instruct the warrior—an event commemorated in the temple's name. The annual Tirumangai Alvar Mangalasasana Utsavam, celebrated during the Tamil month of Thai, features the festival images of all eleven Tirunangur temples mounted on a elaborate Garuda-shaped chariot brought to the site.
