108 Divyadesam Photos

Sri Mahavishnu is the most powerful and much-worshipped God. As India is surrounded by oceans, in the same way the devotion to Lord God known as Bhakti is also spread and spred throughout our country. Emperumaan Sriman Narayanan who is the Paramathma is manifest in all souls the Jeevathmas, is found from Himalayas to Kanyakumari in various posture or position and in various places.
Out of these places, Alwars, have sung on the Perumal and there are totally 108 Sthalams where Alwars have done Mangalasasanam on the Perumal. These 108 places are called as "Divyadesams".
The 108 Divya Desams or Tirupatis are sacred places were sung upon by Azhwars, the ultimate devotees of Narayana. There are 106 on the Indian Subcontinent (105 in India and 1 in Nepal). The remaining two, Tirupparkadal and Srivaikuntam, can be accessed only when one leaves this world. The Tirupparkadal is the "ocean of milk" and the Srivaikuntam is the domain where LORD NARAYANA presides.
