Legends and Notes

– It is believed that when the great deluge submerged the earth, Vishnu remained afloat in an earthen vessel that stretched from Kodavasal to Kumbhakonam
– It is also believed that a part of the celestial nectar Amritam dropped here; hence a bath in the temple tank here is considered sacred (mandatory by some) during the Mahamagam festival at Kumbhakonam
