Mani had mentioned that the place of birth of Nammaazhvaar is close to the river Tamrapani. He also wrote to me the following: Nammalvar was born in Tirukkurugoor, now known as Alvar Tirunagiri. It is about 30km east of Tirunelveli, which is the nearest major city in the area. The temple of Adinaathan is there, as well as the tamarind tree where Nammalvar meditated for many years. it is a rather small and quiet site. Can anybody add to the description of the place, the people, the sites to see in that area, any saints presently residing there, etc? -Eswar
