A granite wall surrounds the temple, enclosing all the shrines and the bodies of water. There is a seven-tiered ''rajagopuram'', the temple's gateway tower, in the temple. Six daily rituals and three yearly festivals are held at the temple, of which the Chariot festival, celebrated during the Tamil month of ''Vaikasi'' (April–May), being the most prominent. The festival also symbolises Hindu-Muslim unity in the region - the flag of the chariot is provided by Muslims in the region, they take offerings from the temple and present to Allah in the mosques. The temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu Religious and Endowment Board of the Government of Tamil Nadu. ==Legend== The legend of the temple is associated with the Varaha avatar of Vishnu. The demon king Hiranyakshan rolled over the earth and ruled the netherworld. He was troubling Bhudevi, who is the divine ruler of the netherworld. She was praying to Vishnu to relieve her off the clutches of the demon. Pleased by her worship, Vishnu appeared in the form of a boar, killed the demon and appeared in the place. The sweat of the demon king dropped in the place which is believed to be the temple tank. While dying, the demon king wished Vishnu to turn towards his direction, which Vishnu obliged. The presiding deity, hence has his face towards western direction, while his body faces the devotees in the eastern direction. Since it was a boar, the presiding deity is a smaller one. The festival deity, as requested by Bhudevi displays the regular features of Vishnu with his conch and Chakra in his hands.〔
