Thiruvanthipuram (Tamil: திருவந்திபுரம்) is one of the revenue village in Cuddalore district of Indian state, Tamil Nadu.^[1]^[2]

Thiruvanthipuram temple is one of the divya desam among 108 divya desam. The presiding deity is Devanathaperumal and Thayar (Goddes) is Hemabjavalli. There is also a hill temple dedicated to Lord Hayagriva. Many people reach here to perform Aksharabhyasam (the ceremony conducted for commencing education of a child).

The great saint Sri Vedanta Desika reached here as a human incarnation of the Lord's Ghanta (bell) who would attain fulfilment in his penance carried out on the Hill. When he was about 20 years old and had mastered all Sastras, he came to this place, worshipped Sri Nrisimha at the hill, prayed Garuda who appeared before him and initiated him in Hayagriva Upasana which helped Desika attain religious knowledge to its greatest depths.
