Religious Significance

The story goes that Pallavaraya, who was ruling the Chola kingdom had a beautiful daughter. She was totally devoted to Lord Ranganatha and Thaayar Ranganayaki that she took a decision to move to Srirangam so she could have a daily darshan of her favourite Lord. The King of Thiru Vathigai came to know about her and expressed interest to marry her. While Pallavaraya was delighted at hearing this, his daughter was wary as it meant moving away from her favourite Lord in Srirangam. In an immediate decision, the ruler of Thiru Vathigai decided to build a temple here located between Kedilam River and Pennai River, similar to the one at Srirangam, with Lord Ranganatha in a Sayana Kolam as the main deity. He also built a separate sannidhi for Ranganayaki Thaayar. To ensure that his wife did not miss Srirangam, the king created a huge one of its kind 8 feet Thaayar.

History

This temple was built in 7th Century A.D. by the king of 2nd Kulothunga Chola, in the later period the temple was maintained by Ranganatha palayakar.
