After Mahabali’s Vatham, Lord Vishnu with a lot of agony, anger and head in air, shook the world with proud. Lord Shiva , “Vaduga Nathar” , beat him on his heart and made him fall. Laxmi prayed for Vishnu’s Life to Vaduganathar. Vaduganathar released his soul. Lord Vishnu requested to make the corpse in peace.

Vaduganathar adorned his skin as dress and made his skeleton as his “Gatha” weapon. Hence, here Vaduganathar is called “Sattanathar”. Every Friday night by 10 pm – 1 pm, there is a pooja for Sattanathar. The main Sattanatahar is at the “Sigaram” of Gopuram made of wood. All abhisegams will be done to the beedam only. “Punugu” only will be placed all over the “Sattanathan” thirumeni on every Friday night. The saints who worshipped in SIRKALI are: Thiru Gnana Sambandar, Thiru Navukkarasar, Sundarar, Manikkavasagar, Poonthuruthi Nambigada Nambi, Pattinathadigal, Gananathar, Nambiyandar Nambigal, Sekkilar, Arunagiri Nathar, Matchu Chettiyar, Kazhi Gangai Meykandar, Sirkali Sittrambala Adigal, Kannudaiya Vallal, Thiru Thoniappar, Marai Gnana Sambandar, Arunandhi, Gnanaprakasar, Siva Gnana Desigar, Sidampara Natha Munivar, and Arunachala Kavirayar.
