Sthala katha — the traditional account

What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.

Vishnu is said to have imparted the 'Thiru Mozhi', sacred words of guidance, to the sage Harita here, giving the place its name.
