There is also an inscription on the left side of the entrance of the sanctum. This inscription was dated to Kaliyuga year 1641. This may be approximately 357 years old.

Religious Significance
Hundreds of years ago there lived a land lord in this town who had hundreds of dairy cows in his farm, one among them was a Black colour Cow (Karam Pasu). Every day the Cowherd locks up all the Cows in the evening after they have grazed the whole day. The Cowherd noticed that there was no milk in the udder of the Karam Pasu for a few days and informed this to the land lord. The land lord also observed for some time that during the evening, when all the cows come back after grazing, this Karam Pasu used to separate from the rest and proceed to a particular spot and discharge the milk by itself. He decided to dig the spot where the cow flows its milk every day. On digging about 5 to 6 Feet a beautiful statue of Lord Muruga was found. He was ecstatic on finding the idol. Further, he noticed that idol was beautifully sculpted upto the hip and the lower portion was rough. The best artisan was summoned to complete the job. Everyone was shocked to see that on the first chisel, the idol started to bleed. The land lord realized that this is god’s will to be the way it was. So he consecrated this idol of Lord Dandayudapani on a nearby hill, which is today known as Chennimalai hill. Even today one can see lower portion of the Moolavar Vigraham is still the same way.
A long time ago, Nagarjuna and Vayudeva were tangled as to which of them was more important and superior than the other, so a battle was fought between them to determine their strength. When Nagarjuna hugged a mountain by the name of Mahameru and held on to it, Vayudeva reciprocated by blowing vigoruously, as a result of which the peak of Mahameru was blown away and fell at Poondurai (Perundurai).
History
The temple was built 500 years ago by King Sivalaya Chola.
