Thiruvenkatamudayan temple, Ariyakudi
About the temple
Ariyakudi is synonymous with the famous Ariyakudi Ramanujar Iyengar and the perumal temple. The presiding deity of the temple is Thiruvenkatamudayan with Sridevi and Bhoodevi thayar. There is a seperate sannadhi for Alarmelmangai thayar in the temple. The temple is popular as Then Tirupathi meaning Tirupathi of the South. The temple is around 400-500 years old and there is a story associated with it.
A devotee used to walk all the way to Tirupathi once a year to visit the temple and deposit the amount given by many other devotees. As he grew old, once while he was walking, he fainted and was unable to walk further. The Lord appeared in his thoughts and told him that he neednt walk anymore and directed him to a nearby place. When he reached there, he found a coconut and tulsi plant as an indication to build a temple there. When the land was being dug up for the construction, the Lord's idol surfaced. The same was installed in the temple and hence the Lord in the temple is a swayambu moorthy.
The temple is famous for fulfilling the wishes of the devotees relating to education, marriage and children. The garuda in the outer prakaram has two lions besides. There is a Narasimhar temple right opposite the main temple.
How to reach
The temple is around 5 kms from Karaikudi and easily acessible through bus and private vehicles.

Sri Venkatachalapathy temple, Karungulam
About the temple
The temple is also called Vagulagiri Kshetram and the presiding deity is Sri Venkatachalapathy. The temple is on a small hill and is visible from the main road itself that goes to Tiruchendur. When King Subakandan was praying to Lord Venkateswara in Tirupati to relieve him of the untolerable pain he was suffering in the neck, the Lord is believed to have come in his dream and advised him to built a sandalwood chariot with good quality sandalwood from the nearby forest. The Lord told him that he would prevail in the two sticks that would remain. So, the lord here is in the form of two sandal sticks close to each other. The King was told to take the sticks to Karungulam and place them on the hill appropriately for permanent cure to his disease. The king according placed the sticks besides the existing Srinivasa temple and started worshipping the same. So there are two temples besides each other on this hill.
