Vedanta Desikar was from Kanchipuram, born in a small village named Thoopul, which falls within the Kanchipuram municipality. In the time of the Azhwars, this area was known as Tiruthanka, home to the Divya Desam with the Vilakkoli Perumal temple. Nearby, you’ll find Vedanta Desikar’s temple, his birthplace, and the Parakala Mutt. His birthplace is located next to his temple, and a stone inscription at its entrance designates it as the ‘Avatara Sthalam’ (birthplace) of Vedanta Desikar. Typically, visitors are not permitted inside.
