The legend has that Pandiya King Vallabhadeva
was a righteous ruler. He governed this
magnificent city of Madurai for several years.
He had the keen desire to know about the Supreme Lord who could provide
Salvation. Lord Koodalazhagar appeared
in the dream of Vallabhadeva’s priest and suggested the name of Periyalwar of
Srivilliputhur who can reveal the supremacy of Lord Vaikundhanatha. Periyalwar was brought to the palace of King
Vallabhadeva of Madurai with great respect and honor. He described the grandeur of Lord Vishnu with
the quintessence extracted from the Vedic Scriptures. The most delighted King took procession of
Periyalwar on his royal elephant; it is believed Lord Koodalazhagar arrived on
his celestial vehicle Garuda to witness this grand procession.
This temple remains open from 6.00 AM to 12.00PM
in the morning and 4.00PM to 9.00PM in the evenings.
