Kal Garudar which is the vahana for this temple. Here
Garuda has the capability to cure the Navagraha
doshas.
A magical event during Garuda Sevai - Garuda increases in weight manifold. During street procession (Margazhi and Panguni), an unbelievable event takes place at the Nachiyar Koil. While only 4 people carry Lord Garuda out of his Sannidhi, as the Lord goes out of each Layer and prakaram, he is said to increase in weight, that 8 people, 16 and then 32 people are required to carry Lord Garuda out of the temple. Finally, when the Lord is taken outside the temple, Garuda increases in weight so much that 128 people are required to carry the Lord. On his way back, it is said that Garuda mount decreases in weight and finally when he is back in the Sannidhi, only 4 people are required to carry him.
The temple sthalam at Naachiyar Koil, Tirunaraiyur houses this amazing stone Garuda and is one of the 108 divya desams of Hindus . The place is very close to the temple town of Kumbakonam in Thanjavur district.
