.
Belonging to the Sri Vaishnava tradition the temple is 1200 years old.
There are 25 inscriptions about this temple. Out of them three records, dated 1014 A.D. refer to this deity Rajashraya Vinnagara. The Chola King Raja Raja I the Great (985-1012 A.D.) had the title Rajashraya Vinnagara. The construction of this temple must have started during his reign. He seems to have died before the completion of the structure.
Later additions were made by the Vijayanagara kings.
