History

 The Moolavar of this temple is Sri Ksheerapthi Sayana Narayana Perumal. His thiruMudi (the head portion) is found on the south direction and this thiruvadi on North direction. He is found on 5 headed Sri Aadhi Seshan and his thiruMugham facing east direction. The Perumal is found with chathur (4) hands holding Sangu and Chakkaram on his hands. Towards his Thiru mugam, Sri Lakshmi and towards his thiruvadi, Bhoodevi is found in sitting position. And from his naabi kamalam, Lord Brahma is found. Only thaila Kaapu (special oil will be smeared), dhoopam is shown to the Perumal but not the Thiru manjanam (the divine bath).
