Description
Lord Narayana grants darshan from the sanctum sanctorum generally in three forms -standing, sitting or reclining. His eagle vehicle Garuda appears either just opposite the Lord or by a side. During festivals, Perumal comes on Garuda. As the story goes, since Perumal set out fast on Garuda to help a king in this place, He appears on the Garuda in the sanctum sanctorum too. This is a very rare form in a Vishnu temple. Hence, Garuda Seva is followed in the temple every day.
Importance/Significance
Sarpa Dosha is believed to be caused due to Sarpa Sapa or curse of the serpents. The origin of Sarpa Dosha is mythic and unexplained in classics. It is said that there is a mystic power of serpents that rule the world. The Sarpa Dosha is explained as it comes from killing the serpents in previous or present life by self or by father or grandfather and not performing the rituals for the same. The curse affects the lives in a negative way. Getting rid of it becomes necessary to lead a peaceful life. This puja ensures that the effect of the curse is removed from one's life.
Facts/Mythology
According to legends, Sage Mrigandu is still worshipping in this temple in an invisible form. It is also believed that Perumal appears on Garuda if Mrigasheersha starters worship here often. Procession deity Sri Aadhinarayana Perumal graces with His discuss and conch along with consorts Sridevi and Bhoodevi. Those seeking a job commensurate with their qualification and a job with a decent package are advised to offer Abhishek to Perumal on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
