Thirumeyyam
Thirumeyyam is an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It is located Thirumayam in the district of Pudukottai, Tamil Nadu, India, 21 km from Pudukottai on the Pudukottai-Karaikudi highway. It is one of the ''Divya Desams'', the 108 temples of Vishnu revered by the 12 poet saints, or Alwars.〔''108 Vaishnavite Divya Desams: Divya desams in Pandya Nadu''. M. S. Ramesh, Tirumalai-Tirupati Devasthanam.〕
==The Temple==
The presiding deity is called ''Sathyagiri Nathan'' / ''Sathya Murthi'' (Vishnu). The temple is old and large, and striking in appearance. The main statue of ''Lord Sathyagiri Nathan'', approximately seven feet in height, is standing on a rock, along with his wives. In the next Sannidhanam (sanctum), Lord Mahavishnu's sculpture is in sleeping position, the position which is called in Tamil ''Ari thuyil'', sleeping with a sense of knowing what is going on at present. Sculptures of Lord Mahavishnu in this position can be viewed in many temples, although this is one of the largest examples. There are many ''sannidhis'' in the temple. All the statues are sculptured beautifully. It was built by the King Videlvidugu Mutharaiyar.The devotees who like to pray before ''Lord Mahavishnu'' in his ''Ari thuyil'' position for some minutes and who want to pray for few minutes before ''Sri Renganathar'', Srirangam and didn't get such a chance, may visit Thirumeyyam.〔''108 Vaishnavite Divya Desams (Vol. 4''.Ramesh, M. S. (1996))〕
It is where the largest Anantasayi (Vishnu in reclining pose) in India. It is a natural cavern which has been changed into a shrine.
The temple is adjacent to the Sathyagiriswara temple, located in the same complex. The temple is maintained and administered by the Archaeological Survey of India as a ticketed monument.
