Source: academia.edu: Dvādaśa-mūrti in Tamil TraditionĀḻvārtirunakari (ஆழ்வார்திருநகரி) is identified with ancient Kurukūr and represents the birth-place of Nammāḻvār.—[...] Nammāḻvār was by birth a veḷḷāḷa (landlord or serf). He is considered a manifestation of Viṣvaksena, Tamil Cēṉai-mutaliyār. [...] Born in Kurukūr (modern Āḻvārtirunakari), a majestic temple of the Nāyaka period is today found in this city-like-village. Nearby nine Divyadeśas are located that are collectively known as Navatiruppati. By and large the Divyadeśas in Kerala (totally thirteen) and the far south of Tamilnāḍu do figure prominently in the hymns of Nammāḻvār, including Kuṟuṅkuṭi
