ARRIVAL OF THE LORD AT TIRUCHENGODE - AADHIKESAVA PERUMAL
We all know that Lord Narasimma moorthy, after tearing up the stomach of monster Iraniyan, drank his blood, and losing peace, became restless. Witnessing this, Lord Shiva took the form of a bird and went on to pick the Narasingam, carried him to the sky and shook him well. The stored blood spilled out, and Narasingam returned to the original look of Lord Perumal. Lord Thirumal, getting relieved from the sin came to Kodi Maada Sengundroor, built a lake, took bath in the same and prayed to Lord Shiva and Parvathy. In this holy place, the temple got created with the Lord in it. This is how the historic epic of Tiruchengode is described.

Lord Aadhikesavaperumal, having Neela Devi and Bhoodevi to his left and right is a visual treat. The Bali Peetham, or sacrificial altar, Karuda Azhwar, and Hanuman are seen in front of the main idol. 400 years ago, in 1608 AD, the temple was renovated by the then ruler of Sangagiri Durkam, Maari Rajendhra Mahiban
