As per the sthala purana it is said that Lord Rama on his return after vanquishing Ravana stayed at the hermitage of Dridanetramuni. As per the muni's advice Lord Rama made a cow of gold and donated it to a poor devotee. The devotee used the gold for the construction of the temple in this shetram, hence the name Sempon (pure gold) sei kovil.
The Tirumangai Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam Uthsavam in the month of Thai is an important festival.
