Sacred Legends & Spiritual Importance
According to the temple’s sthala purana, the sage Hareetha Muni, son of the great sage Viswamitra, worshipped the Lord here with utmost devotion. Pleased by his devotion, Lord Vishnu revealed His divine form and imparted the knowledge of Sri Suktham, an important Vedic hymn, including the Anustana Prakarana and Samhita. It is this sacred connection that gave the place its name Tirumoozhikkalam, meaning the ‘holy place of divine utterance.’
The temple thus holds a special place for devotees and scholars of Vedic traditions, symbolizing the union of devotion and sacred knowledge.
