The temple is praised in the Prabandham hymns of Tirumangai
Azwar, Tirumazhisaipiran and Vaishnavite Acharya Sri Nikamanta Maha Desikan.
The temple witnesses a huge devotee crowd in thousands
during the two Brahmmotsavams, the first of 10 days in Chithirai (April-May)
and the second 10 days in Thai covering January-February. The crowd is equally
big for the Pavithra Utsav lasting seven days. Besides these, Thai new moon
day, Vaikunda Ekadasi in December-January, Tamil and English new year days,
Deepavali and Pongal are celebrated in the temple.
Abishek to Lord is performed with perfumed oil only.
Hruthapadhani spring is considered more sacred than the holy Ganga and it is
believed that it cleanses devotees even from the very thinking of a sin.
Lord Veera Raghava Perumal is all merciful a physician. Any sick person praying here continuously on
three new moon days is cured of diseases as stomach pain, defects in hands and
legs and fever. Devotees also pray for
child boon and happy wedding and reliefs from any untold hardship and
suffering.
Devotees offer Papli Tupatti – an upper cloth to Perumal.
This is not available in shops. This is sold in the temple office only priced
at Rs. 300. Devotees also offer discs embossed with some figures as eye, full
figure, house etc. They offer special archanas and aradhanas and distribute
nivedhanas to visitors. Devotees also offer 9 yard length silk sari to Mother.
For removal of pimples in faces, they dissolve milk and jaggery in the temple
tank and put salt and pepper in the mandap.
This is the most important Divya Desa in the Thondai
Mandalam region. The sacred spring in
the temple is considered more sacred than holy Ganga and a dip cleanses the
devotee of even thinking of a sin. Six
pujas, as per rules are performed in the temple at fixed times each day. The
temple has a mention in Markandeya Purana.
Abishek to Lord is performed only with perfumed oil. Lord is in a reclining form – on a five feet
peeta, 15 feet long. There are shrines
for Lord Lakshmi Narasimha, Chakkarathazhwar.
This is an ancient temple built during the period of Pallavas.
