Sacred Legends & Spiritual Importance
Legend narrates that Yudhisthira, the eldest Pandava, worshipped Lord Vishnu here to seek pardon for the moment he uttered a lie and deceived Drona during the Mahabharata war. This act of seeking divine forgiveness highlights the temple’s profound spiritual significance related to dharma (righteousness).
It is believed that Yudhisthira himself built this temple, and hence Tiruchengannur is also referred to as the Dharmaputra Prathista Temple (the temple established by the son of Dharma).
