This Divyadesam is constructed and devoted by Arjunan, one among the pandavas. During

He got down from the Chariot and tried to get the wheels of it out from the place. But, he could
not do so. At that time, Karnan asked Arjunan not to fight with him at that time and asked
him to wait for sometime. But, neglecting his words, Arjunan killed Karnan using his bow and
arrow. But, he felt very sad for his act and to get out this curse, he built this temple and
devoted the perumal, thirukkuralappan.
The perumal is said to be the hamsam of Vaamanar. Arjunan was able to get the seva of Sriman
