- Sthala Puran
A king by name Krishna Paramarajan was ruling this region. He was a staunch devotee of Sri Varadaraja Perumal. While bathing in the Padmanabha Theertha part of Tambiraparani (now called Kurukkuthurai), the king got a blue stone idol of Lord Vishnu. Naming the Lord Varadaraja Perumal, he built a temple installing the Lord. Deeply plunged in the worship of the Lord, the king was not prepared militarily to face the invasion on his land. He prayed to the Lord to protect him, his subjects and his land.
The Lord, responding to the prayers of the king, came to the battlefield in his form, fought the enemies and defeated and drove the enemies back. The Lord-Perumal who came as the commander of the king’s army is the presiding deity of the temple.
A devotee of Lord Veeraraghava, came to the temple after performing the Tarpan for his ancestors in River Tambiraparani. He wanted to have the personal darshan of the Lord but the Lord did not come. The devotee began a fasting till he came to a fainting stage. Pleased with his determination, Lord appeared before him when the Uchikala Pooja (afternoon pooja) was on. The Lord is so graceful to His devotees.
Lord Veeraraghava appears so handsomely enticing the devotees. Sri Anjaneya graces with his worshipping hands on the left front of the Lord.
