According to legend, King Nala bathed in this Theertham and worshipped the Lord here, which cured him of the afflictions caused by Saturn’s powers. As a result, the location is called Nallaru, where ‘Nala’ refers to King Nala, and ‘Aru’ signifies healing.
Devotees frequently bathe in this pond before visiting the main shrine. They believe all their sorrows will wash away by taking a dip here. The temple also houses the renowned saints’ Appar, Sundarar, Thirugnanasambandar, Manickavasagar, and the famous 63 Nayanmars, Lord Ganesha, and Lord Murugan.
