The Presiding Deities: Paruthiyur Sri Adhi Varadaraja Perumal: Sri Adhi Varadharaja Perumal facing east in the Paruthiyur Temple is bestowing his grace with 'Prayoga-Chakra". This chakra is believed to have been sent to protect King Ambarisha, a Vishnu devotee, from the curse of the famous sage Duruvasa. In rage Duruvasa created a demon out of a strand of his hair to kill Ambarisha. King Ambarisha prayed to the Lord. Lord Narayana's Sudarshana intervened and destroyed the demon and protected King Ambarisha. The Lord protects all devotees from any kind of evil.

Sri Sudarshana Chakra: Hindu mythology is full of references regarding the relationship and synergy between the Chakram and Lord Vishnu. Sudarshana Chakra or the divine disc of Maha Vishnu is one of the Lord’s prominent weapons in annihilating evil forces. Usually Vishnu's Sudarshana Chakra in most temples is held on the side but in the Paruthiyur Temple it is in a very rare Prayoga state - as if it is in use. It is stated in the Ahirbudhnya Samhita that when the devotees are suffering from the afflictions caused by incurable diseases, sorcery, or enemies, Lord Sudarshana dispels his fierce form and comes to their protection. The benefits of Prayers and Homas to Sudarshana are innumerable and it is stated in the palasthuthi of Sudarsan sataka that God Vishnu with Lakshmi has entrusted the task of protecting the world to Sudarsana and he will confer Arogya, Aiswarya, Deerga Ayuh and confer all desired benefits to the devotees.
