Srivaikuntam is located in
Tuticorin District. It is believed that
Lord Brahma selected Srivaikuntam to perform penance to
Lord Vishnu for securing the snatched Vedas from Somuka, an Asura. It is a famous place with a temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, enshrined as Srivaikuntanatha.
Pujas and
abhishek (with milk) are done every day. The temple was also used as a fort during the period of Kattabomman.
