Sri Thaamaraiyaal Kelvan Perumal Temple

The presiding deity's name, Thaamaraiyaal Kelvan ("husband of the lotus-dwelling one") refers to Vishnu as consort of Lakshmi (Thaamaraiyaal, she who dwells on the lotus). Unusually for a Divya Desam, the sanctum here is shared by three consort forms of the goddess (Sridevi, Bhoodevi and Neeladevi) worshipped alongside the presiding Perumal, while a separate processional form is venerated as Parthasarathy and Kolavalli Raman.

The temple's Arjuna connection is more specific than a general association: temple tradition holds that Arjuna, also known as Partha, witnessed Krishna's role as his charioteer at the battle of Kurukshetra reflected or re-enacted at this very site, the basis for the Parthasarathy shrine and for the village name Parthanpalli, "Arjuna's place." Separate shrines to Anjaneyar (Hanuman) and Krishna stand within the same temple complex, reinforcing its distinct Mahabharata-themed character within the wider, Shiva-tandava-founded Thirunangur cluster.

Temple tradition holds that Arjuna's darshan of Krishna as his charioteer during the Kurukshetra war is commemorated at this site, giving the village its name and its dedicated Parthasarathy shrine, a narrative distinct from the Shiva-tandava legend shared by the eleven core Thirunangur temples, even though Thiruparthanpalli is closely associated with that cluster geographically and in pilgrimage practice.

The temple's water body, Katka Theertham, and its Narayana Vimanam are named independently of the Thirunangur cluster's shared iconographic scheme, further suggesting this shrine developed its own distinct local tradition alongside its inclusion in the wider eleven-temple pilgrimage circuit.

The temple's tower is known as the Narayana Vimanam, and its sacred tank as Katka Theertham, both named independently of the Thirunangur cluster's shared architectural vocabulary.

As with its Thirunangur-area neighbours, the Vaikunta Ekadashi season (December–January) is the temple's busiest period; the additional Parthasarathy and Krishna shrines within the complex may also see festival observances tied to the wider Krishna devotional calendar (e.g. Krishna Jayanthi).

Daily worship follows the customary schedule of the Thirunangur-area Divya Desams, with the presiding Perumal, the three consort goddesses, and the separate Parthasarathy/Krishna/Anjaneyar shrines each receiving their own rituals within the same complex.
