Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: Shodhganga: Temples and cult of Sri Rama in TamilnaduSatyavraksetra (also known as Attikiri) refers to one of the 108 divyadesas according to Priyavaccan Pillai’s compendium of the Ramayana based on the Nalayirativviyappirapantam.—Attikiri is usually identified with the Varadaraja Perumal Temple in Vishnu-Kanchi. The original Mūlavar in the temple was made of atti wood (cf. Jaganatha of Puri in Odisa), and later immersed in the temple tank. Once in forty years, the antique Mūlavar is taken out of water and offered puja for ten days. It was the meeting place of Tenkalai and Vatakali Acaryas. This place is associated with the mythologies of the Ramayana hero Sagara (see ‘Balakanda’ in Chap. I). Putattalvar calls the Lord Attiyuran. The references to Putam and Pey would suggest that, Attikiri is one among the oldest divyadesas. [...]
