Lord Rama performed funeral rites to Jatayu in this divyadesam. Unable to bear the heat of fire, Sridevi Thayar moved to left and Bhoodevi Thayar moved to the right of the Lord. Hence Thayar shrine is at the left of the Lord and Sri Andal shrine is at the right in this temple.
Maragathavalli Thayar is greatly praised by the devotees for her grace and power of germinating even fried pulse. Women use to have a dip in Jatayu Theertham, go to sleep at night with fried pulse tied in the sari. If they find the pulse germinated when they wake up in the morning, it indicates child boon granted. Yadava Prakasa, the Guru of Acharya Ramanuja lived here.
