Temples

Thirunagai Divya Desam refers to a sacred Vaishnava temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu in Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu, India that is counted among the 108 Divya Desams — the holy temples glorified in the Nalayira Divya Prabandham (4,000 Tamil devotional hymns) by the Azhwars

Arulmigu Sri Kayarohana Swami Temple is an ancient and revered Hindu temple located in Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu, India. It’s a significant Paadal Petra Sthalam — one of the 275 Shiva temples praised in the Tamil Saiva canonical hymns by the Nayanmars (Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar) and is deeply embedded in regional devotional tradition.

Intense dewfall over the past few days has caused concern among farmers across parts of Nagapattinam district, as samba and thaladi paddy crops enter the crucial flowering and panicle formation stage.Following a brief lull in rainfall, cold conditions have intensified, leading to heavy dew formation, particularly during late night and early morning hours. Farmers from villages in the Kilvelur taluk, including Kollapadu, Velliyalam, Sattiyakudi, Ettukudi, Keelayur, and Thirupoondi, said the cold was harsher than usual this time of the season. “The crop is at a sensitive stage now. Prolonged dew and chilly weather can affect grain setting and reduce yields,” said R. Sathyan, a farmer from Kilvelur. Crops already weakened by earlier weather fluctuations were at greater risk, he added.
