Legend / Local stories
Parameswaravarman Pallava reign was marked by revived conflicts with the Chalukya, led by Vikramaditya I who had fought against his grandfather and was now allied with many rulers. In 674 CE the two armies met at Peruvalanallur near Tiruchirappalli and Parameswaravarman was victorious stupendously despite facing a huge coalition. The Sanskrit epigraphs released on this occasion say that the emperor completely annihilated the army.
Presiding Deity is called as Brihadeeswarar and Mother is called as Brihan Nayaki / Periya Nayaki. There are separate shrines for Vinayakar, Murugan, Dhakshinamoorthy, Durgai Amman, Sandikeswarar and Navagrahas in the Temple. Special feature of Navagrahas in this temple is that, all the Grahas are facing towards the Sun God in the centre of the shrine.
