Thiruputkuzhi is one of the 22 Divya Desams found in Thondai nadu and very near to Kanchipuram. The presiding deity of this Divyadesam is Sri Vijayaraghava perumal. He is found in sitting (Iruntha) posture. Thayar is Sri Maragathavalli nachiyar. She is so powerful and bestows the boons generously to all of Her bhaktas, who are blessed with children (childless couples visit this Divyadesam for getting children).
Thayar is also known as "Varutha Payir Mulaivitha Thayar" who germinates the roasted grains / oats. Generally any roasted seeds / grains doesn’t germinate, but there is a custom followed in this sthalam. If the women who are not blessed with children, sleep near in this sannathi with little quantity of fried grains / seeds / oats tied in their saree and if those germinates, it is 100% sure that the women receive the complete blessings of thayar and will be blessed with puthra santhanam (Children).
Now let's come to the speciality of the pushkarani:
The theertham (or) the pushkarani of this Divyadesam is Jatayu pushkarani. Jatayu, the divine bird who helped Sita Piratti when she was grabbed by Ravana during that fight of saving Sita piratti. His wings were cut by Ravana and as a result he fell down with lots of wounds and was nearing death.
It is said that Lord Rama once pressed one end of his bow, the Dhanusu in the earth here and opened up a small spring which later became the Pushkarani. He himself took a holy bath in this theertham and performed the final funerals for Jatayu as he felt him as his father.
And as a request from Jatayu, the perumal stayed here in the form of performing the final ritual / rites.
Vijayan means victory / winner. Lord Rama, who stayed here as Vijaya raghavan represents the victory (as he won over Ravanan).
So, one can get out of Pitru Sabam by performing the Thithi near this pushkarani and also if you can donate food / clothes to the needy, it would be even better. Also, childless couples do visit this sthalam for Puthra santhanam.
