The legend is that Lakshmi worshipped Vishnu here and hence it is called Lakshmi Vanam. It is believed that by residing in this kshetram for a day would enable one to be liberated of the cycle of births and deaths.
A large beehive is located in the sanctum of Abhishekavalli Thayar and it is believed that the Rishies in the form of bees offer worship to the deity. Worship is also offered by devotees to the beehives. Tirukkannamangai Aandaan, a disciple of Naadamuni merged, in this shetram with the image of the presiding deity in the form of a light.
There is a beautiful sculpture of Lord Vishnu mounted on Garuda.
