The temple is mentioned in the Tamil literary work, "Periya Puranam," which chronicles the lives of the 63 Nayanmars (Saivite saints). It is said that the Chola King, Raja Raja Cholan I, made significant contributions to the temple during his reign, further enhancing its grandeur.

The temple has been a focal point of religious and cultural activity throughout history, witnessing the rise and fall of empires. Its enduring presence serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted faith and artistic excellence that have shaped Indian civilization.

The temple's location in Tiruvallikeni, which translates to "the holy place of the banyan tree," adds to its historical significance. The banyan tree was revered by ancient Tamil people as a sacred symbol of life and longevity, reflecting the enduring legacy of this temple.
