The place is also known as Thiru Sem Palli. It is an ancient temple for Lord Murugan.

Dakkan did yagam at Thiru Parasalur. Siva ordered Murugan and Vinayagar to destroy the Yagam with Veerabadrar. Murugan, Vinayagan, and Veerabadrar went on this way. Murugan resided at Siva Palli. Vinayagar made one theertha kulam with the “Angusam.” When He was about to drink water, Vinayagar was also arrested by Dakkan’s Army. Veerabadrar chased the army and destroyed the Yagan at Thiru Parasulur. Here Sivan, Parvathi, Murugan statues are in the form of Somaskandar. Veerabadrar Thirumeni is beautiful.
