We worship Sri Thiruthangal Appan with Sri Senkamalavalli Nachiyar. The temple is with sculptures and paintings and notifies its Divinity. Sri Thayar is in the lower tier while the Lord is on the upper tier. Emperor Maha Bali's grandson was Banasura, whose daughter was the beautiful Usha. She dreamt a very handsome Prince and her freind Chitralekha identified him as Aniruddha, son of Pradhyumna and grand son of Sri Rukmini and Sri Krishna. Chitralekha with her mystic power brought Aniruddha and he remained in Usha's chambers. Knowing this Banasura imprisoned Aniruddha and Sri Krishna waged a war to recover Aniruddha. Defeating Bana, Usha and Aniruddha were happily married. That marriage was celebrated here at the request of Pururavas. Today's [28th August 2008] divine name kavi: means total understanding of things. We have limitations and we sometime think rope as snake, sea shell as silver. But the Lord comprehends everything, including their future. Kavi can predict future, by imagination. Swami Desika says kavi or poet is also a creator of imaginary world. He also sees the reality.
