Legend / Local stories
Veda Narayana Perumal:
Legend goes that once two demons by name Madhu and Kaidaba stole the Vedas or Holy Scriptures from Brahma thus the entire process of creation came to stand still. Maha Vishnu destroyed the demons and rescued the Vedas but did not give them to Brahma. Transforming himself as a Brahmin with a single head Brahma performed intensive penance to God Vishnu who appeared as Hayagriva Murthy and gave the Vedas back to him. Thus, the God is called as Veda Narayana Perumal here.
Pandavas stay at this place:
Pandavas, during their exile, are said to have come here and had the big rocks at this place as their sleep beds.
