In this temple, One siththar with his 63 disciple’s jeeva mausoleum was there. We may seen that in some temple one sithar’s idol was there. But here we can see sithar with his 63 disciples idol. The history said kaazhi sitrambala naadigal was lived in sirkazhi at 14th century. He worshiped and penance lord “Thiruchendhur murugan”. Tiruchendhur murugan gave “mei gnanam” to sitrambala nadigal sithar. From tiruchendhur, sithar came to mayiladuthurai then he formed one monastery and gave lecturing to all peoples. Totally he has 63 disciples. Then he wishes to jeeva mausoleum. Then he called chola king and explained,give me the place for my jeeva mausoleum with my 63 disciples. Jeeva mausoleum was going to happen at chithirai month thiruvonam nakshathiram. Chola king gave place as per their wish. Peoples from various parts came to that place to get the blessings.
