About the Temple

According to sacred lore, Vilwamangalam Swamiyar, a mystic devoted to Lord Mahavishnu, once beheld a divine child assisting him in worship. When the child suddenly vanished, a heavenly voice guided the sage to a dense forest named Ananthankadu. There he witnessed the cosmic vision of Lord Anantha Padmanabha reclining upon the celestial serpent Adi-Śeṣa.
