This Divya Desam is one of the Nava Tirupathi (9 temples).
The moolavar is Vaithama Nithi perumal in a reclining posture and the Thayar is Kumudavalli. The Theertham is Kubera Theertham and the Vimanam Srikara Vimanam.
The legend has it that Kubera once lost all the Nine Nidhis (Nine types of wealth) due to the curse of Parvathi. After praying to the Lord at this shetram he restored the wealth. The Lord accepted the prayers of the Nava Nidhis to be called Nikshepavitthan - Vytha Manidhi. It is also believed that Dharmaraja prayed to the Lord for the defeat of Adharmam and hence the Lord is also called Adharma Pishunam.
