This is the one of the four Lord Vishnu temple within one temple each ranking among the 108 Divyadesas of Perumal. This is also mentioned in the Mangalasasanam hymn of Saint Tirumangai Azhwar as in his hymn for the other three temples. That the shrine is praised also by Saint Tirumazhisai Azhwar is an added importance.
