This is one of the Azhwar Nava Tirupathi. Kubera who lost the Nava Nidhis (nine types of wealth) due to a curse of Parvati, prayed to the Lord here. The Lord appeared and restored the wealth to Kubera. At the request of Nava Nidhis, the Lord accepted the name Nikshepavvitthan (Vyttha Manidhi). This place is also called the Adharma Pishunam as Dharma( who resides here praying the Lord ) defeated Adharma.
