  Lord Thiyagaraja is the main deity of the temple. A devotee, Elelasingar was keeping some ornaments studded with precious stones to be given to the king. Two shiva devotees came to him from Kasi. Lord asked Elelasingar to give the jewels to the devotees which he obeyed. When king came and asked for the ornaments, Elelasingar stood dumbfounded when Lord came to his rescue and gave the precious jewels. Hence, Lord is praised as Manicka Thiyagar. Manickam - precious stones. Serpant Vasuki performed penance in this place as advised by sage Upamanyu. Lord blessed Vasuki in the form of an anthill. Vasuki merged with Lord. Lord came to be praised as Padampakka Nathar. There is box-like cover above the Lord. He cannot be touched and hence no abishegam to Lord but to Avudayar the base peeta only. Even the priests do no touch the Lord - Theenda Thirumeniyar. Lord untouched by human. Lord Padampakka Nathar is ever under vover and can be seen plain only for three days following Karthikai Poornami (Full moon day) in November- December for Thaila Kappu purpose-oil application on the body. He will be vovered again on the night of the third day. It is said that Lords Vishnu, Brahmma and Vasuki are worshipping Lord during these three days.
