Prabandha, the early medieval Tamil canon of the Azhwar saints from the 6th–9th centuries AD. It is one of
the 108 Divyadesam dedicated to Vishnu, who is worshipped as
Nithyakalyana Perumal and his consort Lakshmi as Komalavalli Thayar. The original structure of
the temple was built by the Pallavas during the 7th century CE, with later additions
from the Cholas during the 11th century.
