There is an interesting legend about the origin of this river. Mahavishnu during his Vamana avatar visited this place but found no water to wash his legs. Vamana took the water from his kamandalu to wash his legs, that source of water never went dry and flowing as Thiru Purayar

Vigrahams of Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata and Satrugna were discovered by a fisherman and handed over to local chieftan Vakkey Kaimal and were installed at the sites.
