Significance: It is considered that if you stay for 3 nights at Kanchi, you get salvation but here if you stay just one night, you get salvation.
Legend: Indhran’s Brahma harthi dhosham got cleared here.
When there was a fight between Saraswathi and Lakshmi on who is bigger, Brahma declared Lakshmi is bigger. So Saraswathi deserted Brahma. When Brahma conducted an yagna, Saraswathi refused to join him. So Brahma married another lady called Savithri and conducted the Yagna. Saraswathi’s anger grew more and she tried to disturb the yagna with the help of demons by creating a flood in the Palar. Then he prayed to Lord Narayan and He just lied across the Palar river in 3 places to stop the flood. The places are Pallikonda (called Vadavarangam), Thirupparkadal near Kaveripakkam and Yadhothkari at Kanchipuram.
Temple: Temple is inside a fort like structure. People getting married at this temple will get all the 16 types of wealth.
