This Divya Desam is one of the Nava Tirupathi (9 temples).
The moolavar is Srinivasar also called Mayakoothan in a standing posture and the Thayar Kulandaivalli Nachiyar. The Theertham is Perungulam and the Vimanam Anandanilaya Vimanam. The legend has it that Kamalavathi the daughter of Vedasaran meditated on the Lord intending to marry Him. Pleased with her prayers the Lord embraced and married her. Hence this place is called Balika Vanam. It is also said that the Lord danced at this shetram after slaying a demon Asmacharan in a Mayayuddham and hence the deity is called Mayakoothan.
