The Ciriya Tirumatal (Tamil: சிறிய திருமடல், romanized: Ciṟiya Tirumaṭal, lit. 'The small and sacred maṭal') is a Tamil Hindu work of literature written by Tirumangai Alvar, one of the twelve Alvars of Sri Vaishnavism. The work is a part of the compendium of hymns called the Nalayira Divya Prabandham. In the forty hymns of this work, the author expresses his devotion and love to the preserver deity, Vishnu, and also lists twenty-seven sites he would like to visit to venerate the deity.
