According
to the temple sthalapurana, Thiru Annaswami Thambiran was a passionate devotee
of Lord Subramanya lived here and worshipped Lord. He had no means to build a temple, so he
constructed a hut, within that meticulously arranged the picture of Lord and
carried out daily worship. Soon, he
gained a divine power in him to foresee the happenings those were true to his
words. This incident attracted lots of
crowd at this site and they were turned out ardent devotees of Lord Subramanya. Thiru Annaswami Thambiran visited Thiruthani while
he was sick, he earnestly prayed to Lord and got rid of the illness. While his journey to Pazhani one of the
famous six holy Abodes of Lord, Thiru Annaswami Thambiran experienced many
mystic incidents. He continued the
worship of Lord in his small hut, when he came to know that the death was
nearer him, he instructed his close friend Sri Ratna Swami to resume the
worship. Shortly, Sri Ratna Swami gained
the spiritual powers and started to foretell the incidents. He built a small shrine as promised to his
friend with the popularity and the wealth earned. This whole scenario was repeated once
again. There appeared Thirumuruga
Krupanandavariyar Swamigal, a passionate devotee and a brilliant orator who was
mesmerized a large number of people with his spiritual lectures took the
responsibility of building a magnificent temple in its place.
This
temple remains open from 5.00 AM to 12.00PM in the morning and 4.00PM to 9.00PM
