The moolavar is Azhagiyasingar - Narasimhar, also called Mukunda nayakar in a standing posture. The Thayar is Amruthavalli also called Velukkaivalli, and the Theertham Kanaka Saras and the Vimanam Kanaka Vimanam.
It is believed that Lord Narasimha at the Hastishaila caves in the Attigiri sanctum hill, manifested himself yet again as Narasimhar and chased away the demons from the vicinity and stayed at this shetram as Yoga Narasimhar. Since the Lord stayed at this place at His pleasure (Vel means desire), this place is called Velukkai.
The annual festival is being celebrated in the Tamil month of Margazhi.
