Divya Desam

Sri Uthamar Kovil is one of the most revered among the 108 Sacred Vaishnava Shrines, referred to as 108 Divya Desam.

It is the only Divya Desam, which is the Abode of the Holy Trinity – Lord Brahma the Creator of the Universe, Lord Vishnu the Operator of the Universe, and Lord Shiva the Destroyer of the Universe.

The Holy Trinity and their consorts are worshipped in six separate shrines.

The Temple is also revered as a Guru Kshetram. All the seven Gurus are present here.

Significance of Worship

Lord Brahma got back His privilege as the creator of all lives. Hence by worshipping Lord Brahma, one is sure to be blessed with all his legitimate desires.
Devi Lakshmi as Pooranavalli Thayar ended Lord Shiva’s hunger by filling the begging vessel of Lord Shiva. Worshipping Devi Pooranavalli Thayar, will keep one free from hunger and poverty, and will be blessed with all ishwaryams.
Worshipping Goddess Saraswathi, who is present in a separate Shrine, one will be blessed with knowledge and education.
Worshipping Lord Bhikshandar, who ended the egos of the rishis, one will be free from ego and bad wills.
