Aadhi Narayana Perumal Temple History and Significance

According to legend, Sage Brigu was performing penance in the Vanni tree forest at this site. A Chola king, while hunting a lion, disturbed the sage's meditation. In anger, the sage cursed the king to have a lion's face. Seeking redemption, the king bathed in the Vettaru River (Vruddha Cauvery) and worshipped Lord Vishnu at this temple, regaining his human form. This event has made the temple particularly significant for individuals born under the Mrigashirsha Nakshatra, as the king was relieved from his animal (Mrigam) face.
