has it that Varunan worshipped Vishnu here. Legend also has it that Perumal
visited this village and made it his home; Lakshmi followed him, and stayed
here too (hence the name Tiruninra oor); Vishnu then appeared in front
of a Pallava ruler, and directed him to build the temple and arrange for
the annual Bhramotsavam and Pavitrotsavam.
