नावपुरम्

This Divya kshetram is located on the banks of Bharathapuzha River near Shoranur in Kerala, and is a railway station on the Chennai-Calicut line.

The presiding deity is Naavaai Mukundan also called Narayanan. The Thayar is Malarmangai Nachiyar. The Theertham is Sengamala Saras and the Vimanam Veda Vimanam. The moolavar Vigraham is portrayed from above the knee, as the rest is supposed to be concealed within the ground. There is a separate sannadhi for Thayar - only one of its kinds in Malainadu shetrams.

The legend has it that nine yogis offered worship at this shetram and attained salvation. It is believed that both Lakshmi and Gajendra worshipped Lord Vishnu with lotus flowers. As the flowers started depleting Gajendra prayed to Lord who took Lakshmi by His side and accepted the flowers offered by Gajendra.

This shetram is considered as holy as Kasi and "shraddhas" are being performed on the banks of the Bharatapuzha River.
