जब 40 साल बाद निकली भगवान विष्णु की रहस्यमय मूर्ति
The Athi Varadaraja Perumal temple was built by the Chola’s in 1053. Basically Athi means ‘Fig’ and Varadaraja means ‘King who bestows boons’, hence the temple is named Athi Varadaraja
As per the tradition every 40 years, water is drained from the water tank beside the temple. This is basically done to bring out the silver casket with the idol of Athi Varadar.
The 9 foot idol is then kept at Vasantha Mandapam for 48 days of public viewing
