The temple is among the pancha Krishnaraya kshetrams- the others being Therazhandur, Thirukannapuram, Thirukanankudi, Thirukannamangai and Thiru kapisthalam.
There is a big beehive in the thayar sannadhi who are believed to be the devas who came to witness the marriage of the Lord with goddess Mahalakshmi and stayed back here.
