Aadhi Thiruvarangam is located beyond Thirukoilur. The Temple is located close to the banks of a dry South Pennai River. The Main Deity is Ranganathaswamy or Aadhi Thiruvaranga Perumal. His Consort here is Ranganayaki Thayar. The Temple dates back to the Kritha Yugam and hence known as Aadhi Thiruvarangam. The Temple is built in Tamil Architecture in 5 Acres. Unlike other Temples the Rajagopuram is flat here. The Main Deity here is bigger than Srirangam and hence He is called as Periya Ranganathar. The most important point is that the Presiding Deity of Ranganatha Swamy is made out of Divine Navapashanam which is considered very Holy and having just one Dharshan or a glimpse of Him would do a lot of good to such Devotees. Ranganatha Perumal is believed to have appeared here to the Alwars and King Mahabali. There are Shrines for Lord Rama, Seetha and Desigar. The Temple encourages Thulabaram offering to Devotees. The Temple offers Annadhanam to all Devotees. Mahishasura Mardhini is considered as the Kaaval Deivam here. The Temple is unique since its kept open from 6 AM to 8 PM continuously. His Lotus Feet (Arangan Paadham) is kept in a closed enclosure. The Temple has a well maintained Ghoshala. A Nandhavanam or Temple Garden is maintained too. The Sthala Viruksham is a Punnaaga Maram, and the Pushkarani is called as Chandra Pushkarani. Several small shops are found around the sprawling Car Parking. Devotees ought to be a bit careful since there are lots of beggars who fleece those visiting here.
