Abhimana Kshethram

The temples are also said to be visited by many Religious scholars and saints such as Ramanuja, Adi Shankara, Madhvacharya, Nathamuni, Yamunacharya, Vedanta Desika, Manavala Mamunigal, Purandara Dasa, Narayana Teertha, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and by many other great Vedic teachers and Rishis.

The other Alvars who are believed to have visited the temple at various periods were seemingly lost in under the beauty of the presiding deity and were at a loss for words.

Nathamuni, Madhvacharya, Ramanuja, Vedanta Desika and many other Vaishnavate scholars classified another sect of temples called Abhimana Kshethras.

These temples are so close to the heart of Maha Vishnu hence, called Abhimana desam.

This is the list of the 108 sacred Temples dedicated to various forms of Vishnu the supreme deity of Vaishnavism.

Sri Vidhya Rajagopalaswamy temple located in Mannargudi, is the first among the other Abhimana Kshethrams.
