Legend has it that thirumangai Azhwar was a dacoit king and once he tried to rob the jewels of perumal and Thayar, who were in Kalyana kolam. When he touched perumal he was transformed and initiated into the religious way, and from then on he started composing and singing verses in praise of the Lord. His pasurams constitute a sizeable portion of the Naalaaira Divya Prabhandham. Thirumangai Azhwar's transformation is enacted during the vedupari Utsavam in this temple.
