This kshetra is mentioned in padmapurana and kurmapurana. This is the avathara
sthalam of Poigai Piran. This is once a very beautiful and very important trade
centre of the past and this is one of the muktiu kshetra ? nagareshu kanchi. ?.
The ldol of lord Atthi Varada made of Atthi Wood is kept inside the pushkarini
and is brought out only once in 40 years and is kept of the people sevai for 10
days. The temple atop a small hill has five prakaras viz Vaiyyamailikai,
Senayarkon, Alavandhar, Azhwar Thiruvedhi and Madaveethi. The Garuda sevai
during vaikasi visakam (This time it was celebrated on jun 1) is very famous.
As per the sthala purana Brahma performed Ashvamedha Yagna to have the darshan
of Lord and the lord appeared from the Yaga Kundam and the Face of the lord has
the burns of fire till now.
Pleased with the yagna Lord granted the boon, Hence the name Varadaraja. This
place was worshipped in Krutayuja by Brahma, in Tretayuja by Gajendra, in
Dwaparayuja by Brahaspati and in Kaliyuga by Adishesha
This place was orignally known as Kanjiram (Ka?Brahma, Anjitha-Worship), which
in time became kanchipuram and it also known as Hastigiri (Hasthi-Ganjendra,
Giri-hill) as Gajendra worshipped lord
This kshetra is very important to all the srivaishnavites and it is known as
Perumal Kovil in the sri vaishanavite parlance. This place is also dear to
Swami Thirukacchi Nambigal who was one of the acharyas to Swami Bhasyakarar. It
is nambigal who used to talk with Lord devarajan daily during Nambigal Alavatta
Kainkaryam
It is said that during the last days of the Nambigal, nambigal was not able to
travel to kanchipuram from ponnamalee. Hence the Lord Devarajan became
pratyaksham to nambigal early morning in ponnamalee. We can also see that Lord
devarajan is giving darshan to people with surya mandalam in ponnamalee the
avathara sthalam of nambigal
This divya desham is about 73 kms by road from Madras and a km from Kanchipuram
Railway Station
