Thiruvaikunda Vinnagaram, a Dravidian temple in Tirunangur near Sirkazhi in Tamil Nadu, is dedicated to Vishnu, who is worshipped here as Vaikuntanathan alongside his consort Lakshmi as Vaikuntavalli. One of the 108 Divya Desams—the most sacred Vaishnava pilgrimage sites—the temple is celebrated in the Nalayira Divya Prabandham, the early medieval Tamil devotional canon composed by Alvar saints between the 6th and 9th centuries CE. Closely associated with the revered Alvar saint Thirumangai, it stands among eleven Divya Desams at Thirunangur. The temple conducts four daily rituals and observes the major festival of Thirumangai Alvar Mangalasasana Utsavam in the Tamil month of Tai, when the festival images of all eleven Thirunangur temples are ceremonially carried on a Garuda Vahana—a mount fashioned in the form of the divine bird Garuda.
