According to popular belief, Nammalwar stayed on this planet till he turned 32 and the Lord Himself came to Vaikuntha's door to take him in. To commemorate this, Vaikuntha Ekadashi is celebrated in all Vishnu temples. 1,296 hymns were compiled by Nammalwar during his lifetime. A crown with the lotus feet of the Lord on the top of it is kept in the Sri Vaishnava temple, signifying Nammalwar's intense desire to dwell under the lotus feet of the Lord. The crown represents Nammalwar's head. This crown is named Shatari and is symbolically placed on the heads of the believers who visit the temple to show the Lordship of the Supreme Lord as well as to signify our eternal servitude to His lotus feet. Offer Laksharchana Seva to Lord Srinivasa Govinda and receive His divine blessings on the auspicious day of Sri Vaikuntha Ekadashi.
