Tirupputkuzhi is one of the 108 Divya Desams with a special significance. This is the place where Sri Ramanujar studied Vedanta under Yadavaprakasa. This town is located about 10 K. M. from Kanchipuram. Buses from Madras to Arkadu, Arrani, Velur, Chittur, Kudiyatham amd Krishnagiri, go via Tiruputkuzhi. The temple is about 5 minuite walk from the bus stop.

The author of Guru parampara prabhavam, Sri Pinpazhakiya perumal jeeyar was also born at this place. The temple complex has numerous inscriptions. Among them, one inscription indicates that in 1300 A.D. the temple tower was built by one Sunthara Paandiyan.

The most important purana associated with this sthalam is the sacrifice of Jatayu, the king of birds. Sri Rama performed the last rites for Jatayu at this sthalam. Hence, this is a very important Divya Desam for all Vaishnavas.
