Location:Tirukaravasal is 14 km from thiruvarur on the Tiruthuraipoondi road.

Tirukaravasal (Tirukkaaraivaasal) is regarded as of the 7 SaptaVitanka temples, housing shrines to Tyagaraja - Somaskandar associated with the Muchukunda Chola legend of Tiruvarur . Tirukkarayil is located 13 km south of Tiruvarur. The seven Vitankastalams are Tiruvarur, Tirukkuvalai, Tirukkaaraivaasal, Tirumaraikkaadu, Tiru Naagai, Tirunallaaru and Tiruvaimur.
Legends: Indra is said to have worshipped Shiva on a full moon night in the month of Virgo. It is believed that Kadukkaai Pillaiyaar here, transformed a trader's cargo of nutmeg into Kadukkaai and then back to Kadukkaai, in a legend similar to that at Tiruppayatrankudi.
The Tyagarajar is believed to be one of the 7 from which Indra is believed to have asked Muchukunda Cholan to pick the original image of Somaskandar worshipped by Mahavishnu. Muchukunda Cholan is believed to have picked the right one, and Indra is believed to have rewarded him with all of the 7 images, which the latter installed at 7 different places within his territory, and it is these 7 temples which constitute the 7 Vitankastalams.
The Temple: Tyagarajar here is known as Aadi Vitankar and is associated with the Kukkuta Natanam dance. The temple covers an area of about an acre. The Indra Theertham is located to the North of the temple.
Festivals: Six worship services are offered here each day, and the annual Bhrammotsavam festival is celebrated in the Tamil month of Vaikasi.
