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'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.
