Temple History
This is avathara sthalam ( birth place) of Thondaradippodi Azhwar. Thondaradippodi Azhwar is Vanamaala amsam of Lord Vishnu. Thondaradipodi Azhwar has composed Thirumaalai - Hymns (45 pasurams) on Srirangam Sri RanganathaSwamy and Thirupalliezhutchi -Hymns(10 Pasurams) for awaking Lord Ranganathaswamy which are the part of Nalayira Divya Prabandham.
In this temple, Lord Ranganathaswamy is in the standing posture (Nindra Thirukolam) along with Sridevi and Bhoodevi Thayars. This is one of the very few temples where Lord Ranganathaswamy gives dharshan in standing Posture. Sri Ranganathaswamy gave dharshan to Thondaradipodi Azhwar here in Nindra Thirukolam (standing posture) with Sridevi Thayar and Bhoodevi Thayar as Azhwar prayed to the Lord Sri Ranganathaswamy for this dharshan in Srirangam.
Sri Ranganayaki Thayar is in the separate Shrine. Devi Sri Ranganayaki Thayar is in sitting posture and is holding lotus which is bloomed in one hand and holding lily flower which is a bud in another hand which denoted present and future. This lotus and lily on the right and left hands of Thayar also resembles the sun and the moon in the right side and the left side of God.
In the Azhwar sanithi, Azhwar is in the sitting posture. Lord Venkateswaraswamy ( VadaVenkadan ) and Thirumalezhumcholamalai Kalazhagar Perumal ( ThenVenkadan ) with Abhaya Hastham are present on the left and right side of Thondaradipodi Azhwar as they wished to listen and enjoy the Thirupalliezhutchi pasurams which was sung by Azhwar on Srirangam Sri Ranganathaswamy. Utchavar is also present in standing posture (Nindra Thirukolam) holding a flower basket in hands. We can also take dharshan of Srimath Ramanujar and Manavala Mamunigal along with Azhwar.
