Story of Tamil nadu states emblem temple

This is our pride of Tamil nadu Srivilliputhur
Srivilliputhur Andal temple in srivilliputhur, a town in Virudhunagar district in the South Indian state of Tamil nadu, is dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu. It is located 80 km from Madurai.
It is one of the 108 Divyadesam dedicated to Vishnu, who is worshipped as Vatapatra Sai and his consort Lakshmi as Andal. It is believed to be the birthplace of two of the Azhwars, namely Periyalwar and his foster daughter Andal.
Periyalvar (originally called Vishnu Chittar) was an ardent devotee of Vishnu and he used to string garland to Vishnu every day. He was childless and he prayed to Vishnu to save him from the longing. 
One day, he found a girl child under a Tulsi plant in a garden inside the temple.  He and his wife named the child as Kothai, who grew up as a devotes  of krishna SheShe is believed to have worn the garland before dedicating it to the presiding deity of the temple. Periyalvar, who later found it, was highly upset and remonstrated her. Vishnu appeared in his dream and asked him to dedicate only the garland worn by Andal to him. The girl Kothai was thus named Andal and was referred as Choodi Kodutha Sudarkodi (lady who gave her garland to Vishnu). The practise is followed during modern times when the garland of Andal is sent to Azaghar kovil on Chitra Pournami day where the presiding deity Lord Kallazhagar entering into River Vaigai with the garland worn by Goddess Andal and Tirumala Venkateswara Temple during [Garuda Utsavam during the Tamil Month of Puratasi (September - October)].



Thousands of people from the state participate in the "Aadi Pooram" festival celebrated in the Andal Temple. After early morning special pujas, the presiding deities, Sri Rengamannar and Goddess Andal are taken in decorated palanquins to the car.The festival marks the adoption of presiding deity, Andal, by Periyazhwar after he found her near a Tulsi plant in the garden of Vatapatra Sai Temple at Srivilliputhur on the eighth day of the Tamil month of Adi. The temple car was originally very heavy (40m tall and 650 tonnes) and it took days to take it back to the original position. Before 2000, the practise of drawing the temple car during the yearly festival was suspended. With the efforts of Vanamamalai Jeer, the head of a monastic institution, the temple car was modified with hydraulic wheels to ease the movement Kumbabishekam, the consecration of the Andal temple happened on 20 January 2016. Golden finials were also installed for Andal temple. A good time to visit temple are Fridays & Saturdays.
Note:There will be thousands of people gathered together to pull the car it will be very exciting to see them pulling the car by chanting Lord Govinda,Govind you have to enjoy such spiritual experiences.
Thank you.
