Tiruninnavur Bhaktavatsala Perumal temple is one of the 108 Vaishnava temples located in Tiruninnavur.
It got its name as ‘Thiruninnavur’ because it was the place where Tirumala, who was angry with Samudra Rajan, stopped.
Temple history
At this place where the mother of the daughter, who was angry with Samudra Rajan, had come, Samudra Rajan came and tried to pacify the mother by saying, ‘Mother who gave birth to me’.
Because of this, the name Taira Tirunamam is ‘Mother who gave birth to me’. However, as the mother was not satisfied,
Samudra Rajan went back and asked Perumal for help, he also came here for the sake of the devotees and persuaded the women to come to Vaikuntam.

The moolavar in this temple is Bhaktavatsala Perumal (Bhadtaraviperumal). Andal with shrines of Mother, Perumal, Chakratthalwar, Adhisheshan,
There are separate shrines for Vishvaksena (Senai Multavan), the twelve Alvars and Ramanuja, the Manavala Mamunis.
Received Mangalasasana
Thirumangaiyazhwar left without singing this Thiruthalam and sent his mother Perumal to fetch the song.
By the time Bhaktavatsala Perumal arrived, Thirumangaiyazhwar had passed Thiruvidantha Thiruthalam and reached Thirukkadalmal (Mamallapuram).
The mother saw that Bhaktavatsala Perumal who came back with the song to sing a song for Tiruninavur Perumal got only one song,
To send more songs to other shrines to see if we have the same, Thirumangaiyalvar who had come to Thirukannamangai by then.
Tiruninavur Perumal (Bhaktavatsala Perumal) saw with one eye that he had come back and performed Mangalasasana on him too.
