Temple Stories- The Muslim Consort of Ranganatha

This is a story that I heard in Srirangam but there is a version of this story in several ancient Vishnu temples of the south, including Tirupathi. There is a shrine for a very unusual goddess in Srirangam temple. This goddess is called Thulukka Nachiyar which means the Muslim Goddess. This is the story of how Thulukka Nachiyar came to Srirangam.
