History

     The Lord is in Bhujanga sayanam with his head supported by his left hand as if he is looking at us.This is the avatara sthalam of Madurakavi azhwar.Swami Manavala Mamunigal has composed a mangalasasanam for this kshetram.No facilities are available for staying here. Due to a curse by Parvathi Kuberan lost his nava nidhis (Nine types of wealth) Kuberan meditated on the lord and got blessed by the perumal of this divya desam , who restored the navanidhis and so the Lord become the Vaittha maa nidhi (Nikshepa Vitthan ) and Kuberan obtained Saapa-vimochanam (was freed from the curse) . This sthalam is also known as adharma pisunam since Dharmarajan(who lives here) won in a battle with Adharmam here .Nammazhwar has described this kshetram as the shining star on the forehead of the Southern direction (Then-thisaith thilada manaiya thirukko loorrkke) in his 6 pasuram of his aaram pathu.
