One Vijayaraghavachariar, a Vishnu devotee was in the service of a white officer in charge of administration of this region.  He will begin his daily work only after worshipping Pavalavanna Perumal in Kancheepuram.  As he was travelling to Kancheepuram daily, the officer Colat Durai built this Perumal temple for the convenience of his trusted agent.  Mr. Vijayaraghavachariar continued the Kancheepuram vist.  When questioned by Mr. Colat, he said that the beauty of the procession deity drew him there.  Colat immediately arranged to bring that deity here.  Pavalavanna Nather told his devotee that he did not differ in appearance anywhere to His devotees.  “I am in the hearts of my devotees” He said. Vijayaraghavachariar rendered his services to his Lord throughout his life time.
