The Legend behind the temple

The Lord had given darshan to Parisara Maharaja on the Thai Amavasya. Makandeya, Agasthiyar, Prahaladan and Dharumadevan were also reverred darshan. Since Garuda submitted the Vimana, his position is near the perumal and not in opposite as seen in most other temples. This is the birth place of Kambar, a 12th century Tamil poet, who authored the Kambaramayanam, the Tamil version of Ramayana.
