Divya Desams refer to the 108 Vishnu temples that are mentioned in the works of the Tamil Azhvars (saints). Divya in the Tamil language indicates "premium" and Desam indicates "place" (temple). Of the 108 temples, 105 are located in India, one in Nepal and two outside of the Earthly realms. Most of the Divya Desams in Tamil Nadu follow the Thenkalai tradition. This includes the important temples of Srirangam and Triplicane.
The Divya Desams are revered by the 12 Azhvars in the Divya Prabandha, a collection of 4,000 Tamil verses. Lord Shiva, the other major deity in Hinduism, is similarly associated with the Paadal Petra Sthalams, 275 Shiva temples which are praised in the Tevaram canon by the 63 Nayanars.

Thiruthetriyambalam or Palli Konda Perumal Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu located in the holy city of Thirunangur, Tamilnadu, India. It is one of the Divya Desams, the 108 temples of Vishnu revered by the 12 poet saints, or Alwars. It is one among the 11 divyadesams of Thirunangur Tirupathis and is closely associated with Thirumangai Alvar.
The temple complex has a single prakaram(outer courtyard) and a separate shrine for Thayar, the consort. It is located close to Thirunangur, a small village, 8 km east of Sirkali en route to Thiruvenkadu.
Located ½ km South East of Purushottamar Koil, this is the only Divya Desam in Tamil Nadu to be called Ambalam. Palli Konda Perumal at Thetriyambalam is said to grant the wishes of 'power'. This is a form of Srirangam Lord Ranganatha and is seen in a Sayana Kolam with the Serpant King Adiseshan on top of him. The temple is praised in the Mangalasasanam hymn of Saint Tirumangai Azhwar saying that those chanting the glory of Sengalmal would be kings on earth and be one among those blessed souls in heaven.
Lord Perumal blesses the devotees with four arms facing east in a reclining form. The vimana above the sanctum is called Veda Vimanam. Lord Shiva and Mother Sengamala Nachiar had the darshan of Lord in the temple. Besides the presiding deity, Lord Lakshmi Narayana, Mothers Sridevi and Bhoodevi, Chakarathazhwar, and Lord Santhana Gopalakrishnan bless the devotees from the sanctum sanctorum. Mother Sengamalavalli Thayar blesses from Her own separate shrine. 12 Azhwars and Sri Anjaneya are in the Mahamandap.
Lord Perumal also said that this place would be called Tiruthetri Ambalam in Kaliyuga-the present period. Adding, Perumal said that staunch devotee Sri Bashyakarar would bring 108 scholars initiated to Vaishnavism to this place and that He would take care and protect all beings. Lord left for Padala Loka, destroyed the demon, rescued earth and placed it in its own place.
Lord came to Palasavanam as promised to Mother Mahalakshmi and Lord Shiva and granted His darshan. He also relaxed here after the war with the demon half closing His handsome red eyes. Hence, Perumal is praised as Senganmal Ranganathar – Lord with red eyes.
This is the only Lord Vishnu temple among the 108 Divya Desas known as Ambalam. People in Tirunangoor know this temple as Pallikonda Perumal temple only. Of the 11 Perumal who came to this place, Perumal in the Temple is very Sri Ranganatha of Srirangam. Worshipping Perumal here is equal to worshipping Srirangam Perumal. In the east faced Temple Lord Perumal is in a reclining form on the Adisesha bed with four hands. His head and right hand are on a wooden stand. The left hand is on the hip. Mother Sridevi is on the head side and Mother Bhoodevi is at the feet side.
