- AThe nalayira Divyaprabhandham was also known as the Tamil Veda
- BAndal was an Alvar
- CKaraikkal Ammaiyar was a devotee of Vishnu
- DMetal images of the saints Appar and Sundarar were made and then consecrated in a Shiva temple
Explanation
The Nalayira Divya Prabandham is revered as the Tamil Veda (A true); Andal was one of the twelve Alvars (B true); and metal images of the Nayanar saints Appar and Sundarar were consecrated in Shiva temples (D true). But Karaikkal Ammaiyar was a devotee of Shiva, not Vishnu — so C is NOT correct.
