अनन्तपुरम्

The moolavar is Anantha padmanabhan in a reclining posture, and the Thayar is Sri Hari Lakshmi. The Theertham is Matsya Theertham and the Vimanam Hemakooda Vimanam.

According to the sthala purana Divakara Muni was enraged to find the Saligramam being worshipped by him, was swallowed by a two-year-old toddler. While the Muni chased the toddler he ran to a tree and hid himself behind. To the surprise the Muni found Lord Vishnu emanate from the tree in the Viswaroopa. At the request of the Muni the Lord took the huge form of the size of Tridanda so has to give darsan from three entrances.

The moolavar in this temple is the largest sayana perumal and one has to view from three entrances of the garbha griha to have complete darsan. It is believed that the Tirumeni of the moolavar is made of Nava ratnams, covered with black meyugu. There are shrines for Yoga Narasimha, Krishna, Lakshmi Hayagriva and Hanuman.

The Travancore Maharaja family patronizes the temple. There are two annual festivals during the Tamil months of Panguni and Aippasi.
