About the temple
The presiding deity of the temple is Sri Vaikuntha perumal with his consorts Sridevi and Bhoomi devi thayar. There is a seperate sannadhi for Sri Kamalavalli thayar. The place is the avathara sthalam of Sri Ramanujar's first cousin Sri Embar. They both were students of Sri Yadavaprakashar at Thirupatkuzhi. It was Sri Embar who saved Sri Ramanujar's life when Yadava Prakasha tried to kill the latter due to difference of opinion over the teachings. After following Shivism for some time, Sri Embar came back as Sri Ramanujar's disciple and followed Vaishnavism till the end. He was the one who taught Parasar bhattar the teachings of Sri Ramanuja to make him Udayavar's successor.
