About the temple
Sri Andal was found here in tulsi shrubs and Periyalwar was taking care of her. Periyalwar was dedicating flower garlands to Lord Rangammanar here. Once he happened to see Sri Andal wearing those garlands first before offering the lord and was very angry on this. He made a fresh garland for the lord and offered them. However, Lord Rangammanar didn’t accept them and said he would wear only those garlands which were first worn by Sri Andal. Thus, Sri Andal is also known as “Soodi Kudutha Sudar Kodi” or “Soodi Kudutha Nachiyaar”. Sri Andal was married to Lord Ranganatha of Srirangam here.
