From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nava Tirupati (Tamil: நவ திருப்பதி, lit.'Nine Tirupatis')[1] refers to a group of nine Hindu temples dedicated to Vishnu, located on the Tiruchendur-Tirunelveli route, Tamil Nadu, India, on the banks of the Thamirabarani river.[2] Each of these temples is classified as a Divya Desam, counted as one among the 108 temples of Vishnu, revered by the 12 poet-saints of the Tamil Vaishnava tradition, the Alvars.[3][4]

Temples

The temples are revered in Naalayira Divya Prabandham, the 7th–9th century CE Vaishnava canon, attributed by Nammalvar. The following is the list of the 9 temples.[5][6]
