Thiruchsemponsey or Perarulaalan Perumal Temple is dedicated to Hindu god Vishnu located in Thirunangur, a village in the outskirts of Sirkazhi in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

Constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture, the temple is glorified in the Nalayira Divya Prabandham, the early medieval Tamil canon of the Alvar saints from the 6th–9th centuries AD.

As per legend, the Hindu god Shiva in the form of Rudra started dancing in fury at this place after the death of his consort Uma due to the yagna (sacrifice) of Daksha.

[1] It is believed that Vishnu advocated Rudra the importance of Dvadasanamems or the twelve Vaishnava marks in the respective parts of the body.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, the temple finds mention in several works like 108 Tirupathi Anthathi by Divya Kavi Pillai Perumal Aiyangar.

As per local belief, the fresh winds which swirl the paddy fields before the day of the festival indicates a good harvest for the season.

As at other Vishnu temples of Tamil Nadu, the priests belong to the Pancharathra aagama Vaishnavaite community, a Brahmin sub-caste.

During the worship, religious instructions in the Vedas (sacred text) are recited by priests, and worshippers prostrate themselves in front of the temple mast.

[6] During the new moon day of the Tamil month Thai, the festival deity of Thirumangai Alvar is brought to the temple from Thiruvali-Thirunagari.

The festive image of Thirumangai Alvar is also brought on a Hamsa Vahanam (palanquin) and his paasurams (verses) dedicated to each of these eleven temples are recited during the occasion.
