Temple History:

Marichi Maharshi was a staunch Vishnu devotee.  He had a doubt.  Why Lord Vishnu, though being highest of all, should take an avatar as a human-Ramavatara?  Even so, why and how He let Ravana abduct Mother Sita?  He wanted to have the answer from Lord Himself directly.  Lord granted darshan to the Rishi. The Rishi put forth his questions.  He asked, “is it you who incarnated as Rama?  How you could afford to let Ravana to abduct Mother Sita?  Could this happen without your knowledge?  Was it necessary that you had to travel long to Lanka to rescue Her with the help of Sri Anjaneya, can’t you do it individually yourself?”

Lord explained.  “This was an avatar to please everyone who loved me.  Lord Shiva is very fond of me who incarnated as Sri Anjaneya.  Many joined me in my mission.  I enjoyed the company of all who loved me.”  Adding, Lord further explained the family dharma that sons should respect and obey father and mother.  Brothers should live in unity and how they should respect their sisters-in-law.  How the characters of both men and women should be in order.  This avatar was to set the rules for an ideal family.”  Lord gave darshan to Sage Marichi as Pachai Vanna Perumal.  Sage had his doubts cleared.
