Thiruvarangan Ulaa is a Tamil historical novel. A work of popular fiction, it was authored by writer Sri Venugopalan. The story is set against the background of Muhammad Bin Tughlaq's invasion and sack of Thiruvarangam [Srirangam]. The first part of this novel is published under the title Thiruvarangan Ulaa and the second part under the title Madhura Vijayam. During the sack of Srirangam, the Vaishnava priests of the Ranganathaswamy Temple removed the festival idol [urchavar] from the temple's premises and travelled all over South India with it seeking protection. They brought it back to Srirangam only when the Nayakkas took over the town again. This bit of history is depicted in this novel.
